Provide your perspective on training and skills

Nuclear Engineering International magazine is seeking feedback on training and skills from organisations across the nuclear industry.

In the first of a two-part Special Report on Training and Skills, published in the August edition of NEI magazine, we speak to industry stakeholders to gain perspective on the skills landscape in the UK and across Europe.

Is there is a skills 'gap' in the nuclear sector?

What issues are companies facing when it comes to skills and recruitment?

What are the priorities for training and recruitment over the next 12 months?
