Surely they will replace them with locals on 0 hours contracts or the young doing apprenticeships for peanuts.

Education, so that they could get one of those jobs which will be moved back to the EU now.

A good example is any IT related project that needs to obey EU data protection laws.

With UK out of EU, those servers need to be on EU country, unless they do some data agreement.

Current reality shows that these are unemployed, not getting an education.
