NUCLEAR APPRENTICESHIP AWARDSThe National Skills Academy for Nuclear (NSAN) fully believes that Apprenticeships provide a key route for replenishing and building skills for the sector.
The Awards are to recognise and celebrate exceptional apprentices employed in the nuclear sector and the aim is to have Award Winners that are role models to inspire others to undertake apprenticeships. Nominations for the Awards are open to all nuclear employer companies.

The Skills Awards Ceremony is a collaborative event organised by NSAN and Cogent Skills, and will feature four award categories for nuclear employer companies to put forward their best apprentices.
The winners of these categories will be put forward for the selection of the coveted UK Nuclear Apprentice of Year Award.
