Division Spotlight
Young Members Group
The Young Members Group works to encourage and enable all young professional members to be actively involved in the efforts and endeavors of the Society at all levels (Professional Divisions, ANS Governance, Local Sections, etc.) as they transition from the role of a student to the role of a professional. It sponsors non-technical workshops and meetings that provide professional development and networking opportunities for young professionals, collaborates with other Divisions and Groups in developing technical and non-technical content for topical and national meetings, encourages its members to participate in the activities of the Groups and Divisions that are closely related to their professional interests as well as in their local sections, introduces young members to the rules and governance structure of the Society, and nominates young professionals for awards and leadership opportunities available to members.

The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) launched the Nuclear Education, Skills, and Technology Framework in February 2019 with the aim to address the concerns of the NEA Member Countries about the potential loss of knowledge due to the retirement of the current workforce and consequently the need to transfer this knowledge to the young generation. The NEST Framework is a multilateral initiative that, through international collaborative research projects, trains and facilitates the skills development and training of the next generation of nuclear professionals and thus nurtures the next generation of nuclear leaders. NEST helps countries to leverage resources and address short- and long-term educational and research needs through: • Developing training activities in challenging nuclear projects; • Building a talent pipeline from universities to industry and regulators by preparing the workforce with the skills and competencies specific to the nuclear sector; • Building long-lasting partnerships between universities, industries and with all nuclear stakeholders to create a global nuclear network of fellows, mentors and organisations. This panel will present the results of the first year of the NEST Framework Activities and Projects.
