This could be a double definition.

'let someone' is the first definition.
'lease' can be an answer for 'let' (as in to lease or let a building). I'm unsure of the 'someone' bit.

'an occupation' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'have' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lease that I've seen before include "Hire out, rent" , "From legal document" , "Rent (a property)" , "Let (property)" , "Renting contract" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
