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
