Educational Session|Workforce Development
The future of nuclear energy hinges not only on innovation and technology, but also on the strategic alignment of the ecosystem that supports its workforce. Today, policy makers, educational institutions, and industry leaders often operate in parallel—but not in unison—resulting in fragmented efforts that fall short of meeting the sector’s evolving workforce needs. This session will explore how to move from siloed efforts to a unified strategy by integrating policy, education, and industry resources.
