Fearing AI job losses, some young workers in Britain shift towards skilled trades
In a labour market where artificial intelligence is quickly transforming and sometimes replacing jobs, student Maryna Yaroshenko wanted to find a future-proof career that offered long-term stability.
Like a growing number of young people in Britain and beyond, 18-year-old Yaroshenko opted for a skilled trade and is now training to become a plumber.
“That’s something AI won’t take over,” said Yaroshenko, who is originally from Ukraine and is studying at the City of Westminster College (CWC) in London.
