00:16approximately 3.51 billion euros investment in domestic job training.

00:28and stricter rules. For the complete update head to our website, link in the description and pinned comment below.
00:50This video explores the UK's record investment in training the local workforce,
00:55the political pressure driving the current immigration crackdown,
00:59the rise in the immigration skills charge and the resulting impact on skilled worker visas
01:05and the broader UK economy. So be sure to watch till the end to understand how these
01:10changes could reshape job opportunities and the future of migration in Britain.
01:16Let's begin with record investment to train local workforce.
01:27The UK will fund 120,000 training slots in key sectors like construction, digital, health and engineering.
01:36The aim, fill labour gaps with British workers and shrink reliance on migration,
01:42especially as 21.4% of working age Britons remain inactive post-pandemic.
01:51Next, we explore the political pressure behind immigration crackdown.
01:56Following the electoral rise of the anti-immigration reform UK party,
02:01Prime Minister Keir Starmer declared an end to the open border experiment.
02:06The government is now refocusing on domestic talent pipelines, pushing back against foreign labour influxes.
02:15Moving on to the rise in immigration skills charge.
02:20A 32% hike in the immigration skills charge is being implemented,
02:25effectively penalising employers for hiring foreign workers.
02:28The funds will help generate an additional 45,000 training positions for locals.
02:36Then we examine the impact on skilled worker visas and UK economy.
02:41Skilled worker visas will soon be restricted to graduate level roles, forcing employers to rethink recruitment.
02:49Business leaders warn that unless training reforms are swift and effective,
02:53these policies may cripple industries already facing severe labour shortages.
03:00Finally, we wrap up with conclusion.
03:03The message is clear, Britain is shutting doors and building skills, at home.
03:08For foreign professionals, the UK's changing landscape demands urgency, precision and proof of unmatched value.
