Nuclear Industry Association’s Post

Happy National #Apprenticeship Week from SRMC! In this video, hear from Erin Stroman and Baker Yarnell—production operators at SRMC who graduated from the Nuclear Production Operator Apprenticeship Program with Aiken Technical College. SRMC Training Manager Charles Lampley also shares his perspective on the importance of this program. Spoiler: Apprenticeships equip individuals with essential and lasting skills for a successful career, especially at the #SavannahRiverSite, where production operators are needed to ensure safe operation of our #nuclear facilities and processes. #NAW2024 #Skillsforlife #SRSApprenticeshipSchool #SRSNAW2024

The future of nuclear in #Wales is looking brighter than ever, as highlighted in the latest study from Cwmni Egino. With the potential for £1bn in annual supply chain spend in Wales over the next 10-15 years, it's clear that nuclear investment could be a game-changer for businesses, jobs, and skills in the region. At Tenet Consultants, we are proud to be part of this growing sector. With our strong track record in nuclear engineering, design, and project delivery, we are committed to supporting investment in #NorthWales and developing a local workforce of engineers and apprentices. Our work across the UK nuclear sector gives us the flexibility to invest in North Wales now, ensuring we are ready to support Wylfa, Trawsfynydd, and future projects as soon as they move forward. By investing in highly skilled jobs, apprenticeships, and local supply chains, we believe nuclear can play a key role in securing a sustainable, long-term economic future for North Wales. 📖 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ePxdbTmT #NuclearFuture #NorthWales #NuclearEngineering #Apprenticeships #Wylfa #Trawsfynydd #SupplyChain

It's official: our skills system is securing Britain's energy and national defences. ICYMI: this week, we launched our new nuclear industry skills plan which will create 👇 📈 Over 5,000 new apprenticeships over the next four years ⬆ Double the number of graduate jobs in the sector ✅ 135,000 new jobs by the end of this decade This huge growth shows that you don’t necessarily need a degree in nuclear physics to break into this dynamic sector – you can do what I did at the start of my career and join as an apprentice, getting skills in the workplace and earning a wage as well. Now, there are more opportunities than ever before in whatever you want to work in, with nearly 70% of occupations available via an apprenticeship. Whether you want to be a doctor, a lawyer, an accountant, a teacher or even a space engineer, you can do it via an apprenticeship. And a degree apprenticeship enables you to earn and learn whilst avoiding student debt. Gone are the days that university is the only way to get into the career of your dreams. Now, thanks to our skills reforms since 2014, and the hard work of businesses across the country working with us on this mission, there are more routes than ever before to help you fulfil your potential. #Skills #Apprenticeships #SkillsForLife #Nuclear #Education #Business

Fantastic opportunities ahead

Today, we hosted our quarterly Nuclear Apprentice Support Meeting (NASP) - a space dedicated to growth, learning, and success for our apprentices. One of the key questions we posed was: "What's your apprenticeship goal?" The responses were unique - each one a reflection of ambition, dedication and the drive to succeed. It was a reminder that having a clear goal is essential at every stage of our careers. Their answers made me reflect... Am I setting goals for myself with the same level of intention? Tonight, I'm committing to a personal goal of my own. If you haven't set one recently, I encourage you to do the same. #CareerGrowth #Apprenticeship #Development #Nuclear

The duality of homework assignments - On one hand I gotta write about a lesson plan I've made(only 1, and it was basically for nuclear engineers back at an internship like 3years ago). How do you translate that for High schoolers? Talking about lesson plans is apart of my recertification. On the other: Comparing Intel with its competitors from a business standpoint. #airforce #veteran #MBA Washington State University Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS)

Savannah River Mission Completion (SRMC), the Savannah River Site (SRS) liquid waste contractor, recently graduated its largest apprenticeship nuclear fundamentals class. SRMC’s fourth apprenticeship group completed the training at Aiken Technical College with 59 apprentices who graduated from the program and now entered Facility Systems training. However, things were different this time. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eiACK4QP

Six weeks ago I hit the two year mark with Nuclear Restoration Services. That’s a drop in the ocean compared to the service of the majority of my colleagues. Here are some observations that many will know, but others won’t. - We have an unbelievably committed and wise workforce. Their experience and depth of knowledge continues to blow me away. - I can honestly say we put safety front and centre. I’ve seen no lip service. - Working in an environment with an annual funding cycle can be a real challenge (being polite here!), particularly with complex multi-year/decade programmes of work. Plans are made, remade and remade again subject to the political and economic landscape. This makes efficient delivery of world first decommissioning projects even tougher. - We have a real opportunity to upskill our management teams to develop a culture where coaching and empowerment can create an environment where people can freely innovate, discovering new and better ways of working. - The UK nuclear industry faces the challenge of trying to find an additional 80,000 people in the next two decades. We have much to do to ensure we are leading the sector to upskill/retrain our existing people, bolster our graduate and apprenticeship programmes, and attract people who’ve already established themselves in another sector to join our sector.
