GAIN – Supporting your onboarding and induction of new starters, apprentices and graduates

GAIN is a fully facilitated, cost-effective way to ensure graduates, apprentices or sector transitioning recruits joining your business obtain a comprehensive awareness of the nuclear industry.

The programme has been carefully designed to help you maximise the value of your annual investment in new entrants and can be implemented from the very start of their career journey. It is available in both online and face-to-face delivery options.

Course Testimonials

I have thoroughly enjoyed participating in the GAIN programme. Having studied a STEM degree I thought I had a good understanding of the science behind the nuclear industry, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that there is much more to learn about the industry than I had initially thought. The course was delivered incredibly well, and I have learned a lot about the industry from this course.

The tutor was an absolute genius! His delivery was pertinent and managed to keep our attention even if the subjects dealt with were complex. I believe that, given the lockdown restrictions, the course worked well and delivered on the stated objectives. I particularly enjoyed the breakout rooms and the social gatherings before the start of the course.

Absolutely fantastic course! The content was clearly explained in a way that could be understood by all levels, and emphasis was made on certain topics where appropriate. The structure of the course worked brilliantly.

There are two variations of the GAIN programme available – tailored for specific cohorts. Click the buttons below for the course information.

GAIN (Growing Awareness in Nuclear) – for mixed cohorts and sector transitioners.
GAIN Lite – aimed at non-technical people who will be working in the nuclear industry.

GAIN Leaflet

Building on the Award for Nuclear Industry Awareness qualification, GAIN has been designed to ease the transition and prepare new entrants for working in the nuclear industry.

GAIN is suitable for all job roles. Three units combine to provide a whole sector viewpoint, including nuclear new build, operations, decommissioning and the fuel cycle. It delivers a comprehensive level of awareness in, and confirms understanding of, nuclear history, nuclear science, and the application of nuclear energy and waste disposal.

GAIN has been developed to support the rising need for distance learning and to support rapid increase in remote working across the sector. High quality online learning is a proven way of supporting induction and upskilling programmes, whilst at the same time saving time and money compared with more traditional alternatives requiring travel and time away from work and home.
