The investment will &#8221;refocus the skills landscape towards young, domestic talent&#8221; by creating 120,000 new training opportunities in key sectors such as construction, engineering, health and social care, and digital, a statement from the government&#8217;s education department said.<\/p>\n<p>More than one in five working-age Britons do not have a job and are not seeking one, with the latest official data showing the inactivity rate at 21.4%, having steadily risen since the COVID-19 pandemic. The Labour government has been under pressure to cut immigration following the local election success of the right-wing, anti-immigration Reform UK party in May, and has since set out plans to tighten citizenship rules, restrict skilled worker visas to graduate-level jobs, and push firms to train locals.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday&#8217;s statement said a planned 32% rise in the immigration skills charge, designed to dissuade businesses from hiring foreign workers, would deliver up to 45,000 additional training places to &#8221;upskill the domestic workforce and reduce reliance on migration&#8221; in priority sectors. Businesses have said they cannot hire enough staff locally, warning that the tougher rules would harm the economy unless they were accompanied by a fundamental overhaul of the country&#8217;s skills training system.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/world-at-work\/uk-spend-billions-job-training-cut-reliance-migrant-workers-2025-05-26\/\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/uk-to-spend-billions-on-job-training-to-cut-reliance-on-migrant-workers\/\">UK to spend billions on job training to cut reliance on migrant workers<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[18920,579,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-140249","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-job-training","tag-uk","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140249","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140249"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140249\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140249"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140249"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140249"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
