What is Destination Nuclear

"To redefine how the nuclear industry is portrayed, marketed and reported upon to a social generation."

About Destination Nuclear

Destination Nuclear is a cross-sector-funded collaboration to attract the future workforce.

Nuclear is facing its biggest expansion in 70 years. The Government outlined its Nuclear Roadmap, which included plans to:

🎯support thousands of jobs

⬇️reduce electricity bills

🛡️improve energy security

But to meet these ambitions, we need the workforce. By 2040 we need to recruit 120,000 people into the sector and that’s where Destination Nuclear comes in.

The national campaign, launching in early 2024, aims to future-proof the nuclear sector by attracting a wealth of new talent with transferable skills. 

We're pleased to play a part in that roadmap, supporting Destination Nuclear in enabling companies in the sector to connect with their future workforce, filling vital roles for a secure future for our industry.

How we are supporting Destination Nuclear

From the outset, Get Into Nuclear as a concept has never changed in that our mission is to:

Create a nuclear industry that is open to all

During the 6 years that we have been operating, the landscape of the nuclear industry has changed so much, and all for the better.

We started as a signposting website for anyone interested in finding out more about the nuclear industry, we grew the website to become a career hub, created a supporting nuclear jobs board to act as a hub for nuclear jobs and have several career story interviews on the website showcasing the face behind the industry and their interesting career paths in the sector.

Outside of the website, we have hosted online events, attended many in-person events and engaged directly with schools and colleges across the UK, raising the profile of the nuclear industry as a feasible career for the next generation of workers.

With the creation of Destination Nuclear - of which Get Into Nuclear sits on the Advisory Board - and its plans to create a career hub and jobs board on the back of the fantastic national marketing campaign they have planned, getintonuclear.com will remain live but will focus on providing news and information about the sector with links to Destination Nuclear for anyone interested in finding out more about getting into the sector. This will allow us to redefine how the nuclear industry is portrayed, marketed and reported upon to a social generation.

Outside of the website, we will continue to focus on helping the nuclear industry interact with young people and provide new approaches to attracting talent into the sector.

We are excited about the launch of Destination Nuclear and look forward to helping change the narrative, perceptions and attractiveness of the nuclear industry as a career of choice for future generations.
