Employers have recognised that the ongoing supply and development of high-level science and technology skills is an imperative because the ability to apply nuclear and radiological technology has a key role in the health sector, plays a principal part in national defence and is vital to the operation of the UK’s nuclear power stations and the decommissioning and clean-up of nuclear facilities. Also, the ability to manage the technology and to innovate is also fundamental in ensuring
that the UK can build new nuclear power stations and sustain the clean energy programme the world needs now more than ever. The article explains that the Cogent Sector Skills Council was formed, with the support of the industry, to develop strategic, targeted action to meet nuclear industry skills needs. Throughout its
developing programme of work, key employers and professional bodies have taken a lead role in driving forward Cogent’s workforce development agenda.rtgrg
