The provision of alpha-related skills, knowledge, and capability that can support long term or future projects is a challenge due to the specific and unique nature of the skills required. The timeline to develop skills, especially subject matter expertise, is often long, is expensive, and needs access to unique facilities. Developing a sustainable and long term skills development program is therefore essential, and collaboration between organizations can be a real benefit. This panel will present the challenge around alpha-related skills and discuss the potential approaches to providing a robust and sustainable skills development program.
