Following the March 2023 release of the U.S. Department of Energy’s “Pathways to Commercial Liftoff: Advanced Nuclear” report, there has been an increasing focus on securing and preparing the future nuclear workforce to meet a potential scaling of domestic nuclear capacity. Given this imperative, how can we encourage more individuals into the industry from various backgrounds and create pathways for them to acquire the necessary skills and expertise? This panel session aims to explore the career trajectories of industry professionals entering the nuclear sector and analyze how these journeys could influence the recruitment of skilled individuals for the future workforce.
