Funding

The nuclear industry is unique in having planned activity well into the 22nd Century, but does not as yet have the training and development infrastructure to meet this challenge. Investment in skills development will give the UK nuclear industry a place in the global market, ensuring a sustainable future for the workforce and potential increase in revenues to the UK.

This need clearly demonstrates the importance for public (LSC), Regional Development and other Agencies, and employer investment, to ensure sufficient supply of skills to the industry over the short, medium and longer term.

The Skills Academy relies upon investment from its  Members (both Employers and Providers) to ensure the sustainability of the Skills Academy.  In return for their investment, Members recieve many benefits as detailed on the Membership pages. 

During the first three years of operation the goverment (LSC) will provide match funding to the amount invested by Members - effectively Employers can double their training budget!

The Skills Academy will review and revise learner demand on an annual basis, to meet the needs of public agency funding cycles. This will ensure that investment in skills has the greatest benefit to the public purse.
