The Cavendish Nuclear placements will be delivered in collaboration with Government skills body the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB).

Rebecca Nicholls, Cavendish Nuclear’s Early Careers Manager said,

“We are excited to be running a second programme in partnership with Cavendish Nuclear, building on the success of their inaugural programme.  Cavendish are leading the way in creating a diverse and inclusive nuclear sector, and have shown how much they value the skills and experience that career break engineers have to offer them”

Chris Claydon, Chief Executive of the ECITB said,

“We are proud to support the STEM Returners’ programme, which is a great initiative from Cavendish Nuclear to harness the talent we already have in this country.

“The ECITB is committed to help industry meet its current and future skills needs by supporting recruitment for some of the major infrastructure projects planned in the UK.This programme builds on the success of Cavendish Nuclear’ s parent company, Babcock International Group, who is delivering a STEM Returners programme in its Marine Sector.
