Creation of thousands of jobs for today and
tomorrow, over a various range of specialties
In France, ~ 220, 000 direct and indirect jobs created for nuclear activities
10% of these jobs are nuclear qualified
15 000 recruitments per year
foreseen until 2020,
To ensure the replacement of retiring workforce
But also new jobs for R&D, new models…
5
Level of “nuclearization” among nuclear industry
workforce
Staff having to deal with interfaces with the
process (plant systems engineering,
operation managers)
Staff having no contact with the
process (manufacturing, non
nuclear maintenance)
Nuclear specialists working on the process
(research, core design, safety experts)
The electronuclear industry needs nuclear specialists…
and a much larger number of specialists in conventional
domains
6
A coordination is necessary to adapt the education
and training offer to the needs of jobs of the industry

…. awarding a large range of degrees
Every year, ~1400 students graduate from one of the existing programs:
PhDs: over 200 doctors
50 Master’s curricula with internships and on-the-job training at CEA,
ANDRA, IRSN, EDF, AREVA, (1 or 2 years – graduate) – Over 800 students/
year
16 vocational BS programs (3 years – undergraduate) – 230 students/ year
13 advanced technician programs (2 years – undergraduate) – 50 students/
year
15 vocational high-school programs (secondary education) – 100 students/
year
Over 800 masters and 200 doctors graduate in nuclear
energy every year in France, 20% of these come from
abroad

Saudi Arabia
Following EDF-AREVA road-shows at Saudi universities in Dec-13 – Jan-
14 and the Study Tours provided in June 2013 and June 2014,
Universities’ Deans submitted a list of candidates for internships to EDF
and AREVA local teams
35 Saudi students in total have been selected to complete an internship
(between 3 and 6 months) within EDF and AREVA facilities
13 within EDF facilities
22 within AREVA facilities
These students where integrated in teams in nuclear engineering units or on
