  • Skills England will work closely with official migration advisers to develop training plans for sectors reliant on immigrants. This seems like a shift from their previous stance of not relying on importing skills.
  • Starmer stated that his administration would not rely on importing skills and instead focus on ending the 'skills gap' through collaboration with industry. However, a lack of workplace skills has made the UK reliant on higher and higher levels of immigration.
