Where need is seen, the WNU partnership facilitates training to enhance the professionalism of the global nuclear workforce. Three such initiatives are currently being developed:

• The one-week WNU Expert-level Orientation Course launched in Beijing in July 2007, covers the full range of industry operations, including the international legal framework.


• The WNU School of Uranium Production, hosted in the Czech Republic, offers on-site courses both to miners and regulators.


• The WNU Work Experience Programme will match promising graduate students with two- to three-month internship opportunities in key enterprises of the global nuclear industry.
