Re-skilling today's workforce for tomorrow
The nuclear sector is investing in people – creating opportunities to build skills, grow careers, and be part of a sector driving innovation.
As nuclear expands, it’s opening doors for people from a wide range of backgrounds. Training programmes are helping those moving from other sectors to transfer their expertise and develop new skills along the way.
Many techniques already used in areas like construction and manufacturing – from digital tools to robotics and artificial intelligence – can be applied in nuclear. That means careers for welders, project planners, and engineers are not only possible here, they’re in demand.
