The Labour Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, is pushing for an “ambitious” youth migration deal with the EU.
The Chancellor said an exchange scheme for young workers would be “good for the economy, good for growth and good for business”.
The UK agreed to work towards a “youth experience visa” with the EU in May this year but the specifics of the scheme are still being negotiated.
One of the consequences of the UK leaving the EU was the end of British people being able to work freely in Europe.
As well as the EU it included other ski nations including Norway and Switzerland that are outside the EU, but inside the Schengen area.
The UK is not in the Schengen customs area.
It had a damaging impact on young people from the UK who wanted to work in ski resorts, as we have reported:
- Skiing, Snowboarding & Working in the EU after Brexit
- Worries continue for Brits wanting to work in the Alps after Brexit
- Jobs for British ski instructors and resort staff under threat
