The SUSTAIN (SUpporting Strategic Training of Adaptable and Integrated Nuclear Workforce) project is a collaborative endeavor between the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Morgan State University, University of Maryland, the Regional Center for Nuclear Education and Training, and NuScale. The overarching aim of this initiative is to formulate a comprehensive and actionable strategy geared towards ensuring the availability of a diverse and proficient workforce capable of supporting the sustained operation of nuclear power generation within the United States. This will be achieved through an evaluation and lessons learned from previous workforce assessments, outreach to those in workforce supply, demand, and training, using the outreach to project future workforce needs, and development of content for training the future workforce. Through these interactions, the project endeavors to project future workforce requirements. Moreover, a pivotal aspect of the project involves the creation of tailored content designed to train the next generation of nuclear industry professionals. This Panel serves as a platform for soliciting input and feedback from stakeholders invested in the nuclear workforce. Their insights will not only inform the trajectory of the SUSTAIN project but also foster collaborative relationships for future endeavors.
