Let's try this again. I had a whole post typed out, and it wouldn't let me put in a LEGITIMATE web address. Oh well, rules are rules!
Check that website out. It's the Visa info site for the UK. The WHM scheme will be obsolete in September. It's being replaced by the Tier 5 Youth Mobility scheme shortly after that. No news on how it will work yet; more to come after September.
AND, the UK is more anal now about who they let in. There will be only so many places available for the Tier 5, and there will be a points system going into place later on this year for Tier 1 (work permit) and Tier 2 (sponsored); you will need a BA, MBA, or PhD and plenty of experience in your field PLUS UK experience in order to pass. They have an online test for you to try.
Just an FYI.
