Starmer's government will upskill British workers, curb immigration

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government plans to invest $4.1 billion to upskill 120,000 British workers, aiming to reduce reliance on foreign labor. The initiative includes increased English-speaking requirements for overseas workers and a 32% rise in the Immigration Skills Charge, funding additional training in sectors like construction and social care. This move is part of a broader effort to curb immigration. This policy comes amid concerns about potential strains on UK supply chains due to infrastructure investments and warnings from businesses about labor shortages.
