    Brief

The programme provides structured training pathways, accelerator courses, and comprehensive support to prepare mid-career switchers for positions in both civil and defence nuclear sectors. Ideal for suppliers offering training, education, assessment, or recruitment services that can support workforce development in nuclear engineering, operations, security, project management, and other high-demand technical and professional roles.
