The New Engineering Foundation and the National Skills Academy for Nuclear are pleased to announce that Sellafield Ltd has become the fourth organisation to be awarded NEF Assured (Nuclear) status in recognition of their exemplary practice in training and development, and their embedded ethos of continuous improvement.
“Through the NEF Assured (Nuclear) process Sellafield Ltd demonstrated exceptional commitment and foresight in every component of the standard, and in particular, in the development and implementation of its Skills Strategy.” Iain Nixon, NEF Adviser
The Advisers commended Sellafield Ltd on their systematic and careful monitoring of sectoral trends, as well as the internal needs of the business, which helped to ensure their training strategies and plans were well focused. They added that the means by which Sellafield has strived to identify the secondary skills of its employees, thus enabling potential new role and career development opportunities to emerge, was particularly noteworthy. They also noted Sellafield’s positive response towards taking on board the recommendations made for continuous improvement.
A culture of innovation at Sellafield Ltd has led to the training function establishing a Controlled Area Training facility that provides a valuable simulated environment for the core radiological training and to the organisation embracing e-learning to support the delivery of more cost effective training interventions.
