10 Temmuz 2026The Guardian

Chancellor Rachel Reeves is set to announce a new 'skills compact' aimed at retraining thousands of financial sector workers in response to the AI revolution. This initiative will involve major firms like Barclays and Lloyds committing to enhance their employees' skills to adapt to rapid technological changes.
The announcement is expected during Reeves's final Mansion House speech before a potential leadership change in the government.
As AI technology continues to evolve, there are growing concerns about job security in the financial sector. The skills compact is a response to these anxieties, aiming to ensure that workers are not left behind as the industry transforms.
The introduction of the skills compact reflects a proactive approach to workforce adaptation in the face of advancing technology. By engaging major financial firms in this initiative, the government aims to mitigate the potential impact of AI on employment within the sector.
