Skills for Energy Conference

Wednesday 22nd September 2010
Thomas Paine Building, UEA, Norwich

Much has happened in the year since our inaugural Skills for Energy conference but the focus remains firmly on a long-term and effective strategy for providing the talented people needed to meet the increasing demands of our energy industry in the decades ahead.

Engineering will inevitably be under the spotlight at the conference. Without engineers, it matters little how much money a company can throw at a project and, without them, there is no role for the back-up support teams of technicians and other trades.

Our conference will consider not just the challenge of creating skills at all levels but will encourage skilled people into the energy sector against the competitive appeal of other major industries. We will look too at the mental toughness and approach needed by the workforce in a demanding industry, the challenge of moving between engineering disciplines and sectors, and a look at the skills implications for the industry of the future.

Workshops Workshop 1 - Nuclear industry skills

What are the skill sets and accreditation that you would need as an individual or company to workin the nuclear industry?
