Yes. Education and Leadership Trust in Manchester is on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors under this name since 2018. It can sponsor workers from overseas, but not every job it advertises comes with sponsorship. ### What visa routes can Education and Leadership Trust sponsor? Education and Leadership Trust is licensed for Skilled Worker. Its licence rating on the register is "Worker (A rating)". ### Where is Education and Leadership Trust based? The register lists Education and Leadership Trust at Whalley Range 11-18 High School Wilbraham Road, Manchester, M16 8GW.
