00:00The EU is preparing for something big, and it starts with 600,000 people.

00:05By 2030, the European Union wants to reskill or upskill 600,000 workers, all to fix a growing

00:11crisis in the defense industry.

00:14Right now, there just aren't enough skilled people to build the weapons and tech needed

00:18to keep Europe safe.

00:19Why?

00:20Years of defense under investment.

00:22And now, with rising global tensions and fears of another Russian attack by the end of the

00:27decade, Europe is scrambling to catch up.

00:30In 2023, the defense industry had over 580,000 jobs, but it still isn't enough.

00:35So the EU is launching a full-scale talent transformation.

00:39A new talent platform will offer traineeships in startups and defense companies.

00:43A skills guarantee pilot will help autoworkers shift to defense jobs.

00:47And a future EU defense skills academy is already on the radar.

00:51This isn't just about jobs.

00:53It's about security.

00:55And the EU is betting its future on the people who can build it.
