ENGC 01B - Canadian Executive Nuclear Energy Management School

Description

Join the first Canadian Executive Nuclear Energy Management School, organized in Cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) at the College of Engineering, University of Saskatchewan (USask). This one-week executive program provides a deep and integrated understanding of the nuclear energy lifecycle—from strategic planning and reactor deployment to regulatory readiness, organizational capability, and the complex governance, legal and financial considerations associated with introducing nuclear power in emerging jurisdictions.

Designed for mid- to senior-career professionals and industry leaders, the Executive NEM School supports leaders working across the nuclear energy sector and related technology domains who seek to strengthen their strategic, technical, and managerial competencies in a rapidly evolving nuclear landscape.
