The UK's nuclear ambitions - from energy security to national defence - require us to think and act beyond traditional organisational boundaries. Our leaders need to:
- See the big picture of UK nuclear capability
- Collaborate effectively across the sector
- Understand different perspectives and approaches
- Lead teams through complex challenges
- Build partnerships that deliver results
The Sector Leaders programme helps develop these capabilities in our future leaders, preparing them for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
Our commitment
As part of the Nuclear Skills Charter, nuclear organisations have committed to:
"Participate in a prestigious cross-sector programme to encourage collaboration - building a network of future leaders that will deepen and endure."
This commitment recognises the need to create a more connected, collaborative nuclear sector with leaders who can work effectively across boundaries.
How it works
The programme brings together participants from different nuclear organisations for a mix of:
- Structured learning experiences
- Cross-organisational projects
- Networking opportunities
- Exposure to different nuclear environments
- Engagement with senior leaders from across the sector
By experiencing different parts of the nuclear world, participants gain insights and build relationships that will serve them - and the sector - throughout their careers.
Leading for the long-term
The Sector Leaders programme is part of our commitment to "lead and steward for the long-term" - one of the four key themes in the Nuclear Skills Plan. It seeks to ensure we have the leadership capability needed to deliver the UK's nuclear priorities for decades to come.
