The Women in Nuclear Global Conference arrived in London with a clear brief: scale nuclear by scaling people—skills, leadership, and inclusive teams. Core programming ran July 14–16, bracketing technical tours on July 17 and cultural tours July 18—an unusually hands-on format that made policy panels tangible.
What cut through
- Skills pipelines > slogans. Utilities and vendors pitched apprenticeships and mid-career transitions (ops → digital) as the real bottleneck fix.
- Policy literacy as a career moat. Sessions coached attendees to navigate licensing change control and supply-chain QA—because growth equals scrutiny.
- Tours as talent magnets. Site visits showcased real kit—turning newcomers into recruits faster than any brochure.
Founder takeaway:
If you’re hiring, show training paths and credentialing in your JD. The best candidates optimize for mobility, not just salary.
