Britain will build five new technical colleges to train professionals in the field of national defense.

The UK will invest 182 million to establish five technical colleges, aimed at cultivating the talent needed for defense positions and promoting military innovation. The UK government announced the plan on Saturday, specifying that the colleges will focus on training submarine engineers, cyber warfare experts, welders, and other professionals. In addition, the plan will provide funding support for thousands of short-term courses to help employers in the defense sector quickly enhance the skills of existing and new employees in key technical areas. The application process for the plan is expected to open by the end of this year, and the five colleges will officially be operational by 2026.
