KEY FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS I
Human resource development:
Needs analyses being more systematically undertaken,
sometimes at national or even regional level
Better recognition of the importance of vocational training
Good examples of managing & improving the E&T pipelines,
strengthening across the skills pyramid with good blending of
theory, practical and hands-on experience
Need to further develop pathways “from education to
employment”
Strategic outreach plans crucial to inspire next generation and
build acceptance of nuclear energy
Education and training should be integrated into overall strategy
for building and maintaining capacity, supported by government

IAEA
• Networks have become a proven and effective tool for
knowledge sharing, capacity building and harmonisation
Many good examples presented from corporate, national and
international levels
• Knowledge management should address each area of a
nuclear power programme, from design through
decommissioning
Necessary for all organisations
Contributes to business and strategic objectives, not just safety
