Migration Advisory Committee’s regional event
Friday 19/03/10, 10:30am- 1:30pm. De Vere Collection University Arms Hotel, Regent Street, Cambridge, CB2 1AD

You are invited to meet with representatives from the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) at a FREE regional event in Cambridge on 19 March 2010. Feedback from previous events has shown that employers have valued the opportunity to meet with us and found the experience helpful and worthwhile.


What is the MAC?
The MAC is a non-departmental public body set up to provide transparent, independent and evidence-based advice to the Government on where skilled labour market shortages exist that can sensibly be filled by immigration. This is in connection with Tier 2 of the Points Based System for immigration. The Government also ask the Committee for advice on other migration issues from time to time.

Why is the MAC holding this event?
The purpose of the regional events is to increase MAC contacts with relevant stakeholders at a local level so that:

  1. They can hear from you regarding skilled labour shortage issues of local concern
  2. You can gain a better understanding of the MAC’s role and how you can work with them.

Who would benefit from attending?
They are especially keen to meet with employers and organisations who use, or are looking to use, migrant labour from countries outside the EEA to fill their skills shortages.

Further details

  • There will be a buffet provided.
  • There is no charge for attendance at this event, but please register early as places are limited.
