英国主要国防承包商已做出承诺，到2030年每年为18至24岁的年轻人提供4万个学徒、工作经验或永久职位机会，到2035年这一数字将增至5万人1。参与此项承诺的承包商包括BAE Systems、MDBA、Rolls-Royce、Babcock、Thales和Airbus1。
国防大臣韦斯·斯特里廷将这一举措视为应对英国青年就业危机的重要举措1。目前约有100万名16至24岁的青年不在教育、就业或培训中1。斯特里廷表示："我们有责任，在加大国防投资的同时，以促进英国就业、英国产业的方式进行"1。这项承诺与工党政府增加国防支出的目标相结合，英国国防支出预计从下一年起达到国内生产总值的2.7%，并可能在2030年前进一步增至3%1。此外，国防支出的绝大多数发生在伦敦和英国东南部以外地区1。
Major UK defence contractors have committed to providing 40,000 apprenticeships, work placements, and permanent job opportunities annually for 18- to 24-year-olds by 2030, with plans to increase this to 50,000 by 2035 1. The initiative, backed by companies including BAE Systems, MDBA, Rolls-Royce, Babcock, Thales, and Airbus, represents a significant effort to address youth unemployment and bolster Britain's industrial capacity 1.
Defence Secretary Wes Streeting framed the pledge as an opportunity to tackle the estimated one million young people aged 16 to 24 not in education, employment, or training 1. He stated: "We have a responsibility, as we increase investment in defence, to do so in a way that boosts jobs and industry in Britain" 1. The commitment aligns with Labour's defence spending plans, which aim to increase UK defence expenditure to 2.7% of GDP starting next year, with potential further increases to 3% by 2030 1. The majority of defence spending occurs outside London and the Southeast, supporting regional economic development 1.
