The UK has unveiled a roadmap for developing a skilled workforce for its nuclear energy sector which aims to increase the industry’s available workforce by almost 50%, including recruiting 40,000 new jobs by 2030.
The National Nuclear Strategic Plan for Skills, which is backed by the UK government, aims at attracting new talent to the UK nuclear energy industry, and upskilling current industry professionals to boost retention in the sector.
Addressing the nuclear skills gap will be pivotal as the UK strives to become a global leader in the nuclear sector, the government said in a statement.
