Born from the Nuclear Skills Plan, Destination Nuclear addresses one of our biggest challenges: by 2030, the UK nuclear sector needs an additional 40,000 skilled professionals, whilst also replacing people who leave the sector.

Through engaging communications, events, and direct outreach, we're reaching people who might never have considered a nuclear career – from school leavers to experienced professionals looking for their next challenge.
