HOPS
is a scheme that allows full-time students to work on farms in the UK
during the planting and harvesting season. The Harvesting Opportunities
Permit Scheme HOPS is part of the Seasonal Agricultural Workers
Scheme SAWS, which was introduced by the UK government after the second
world war to help meet the shortfall in labour available to farmers
in the UK from the local labour market when they most need to increase
their work-force temporarily, that is - during the sowing and harvesting
season. |

who carry out activities such as sowing, harvesting, sorting and packing.

Most are full-time students aged between
eighteen and twenty five. The majority, are from Eastern Europe and
the former Soviet Union countries, some are from the Commonwealth of
countries and more recently some are from China. |

You cannot make a direct application for employment under the Harvesting Opportunities Permit Scheme HOPS on your own behalf, but rather, you have to be referred by your University or other Institute of learning. If your learning institute doesn't already refer students for seasonal work under the Harvesting Opportunities Permit Scheme HOPS, ask your principal why? |
