Saskatchewan Polytechnic has launched the Western Canadian Nuclear Training Centre. The centre will foster strategic partnerships and provide nuclear-specific training to students, including the UK-based National Skills Academy Nuclear’s industry-leading training programs. The centre has also partnered with the University Network of Excellence in Nuclear Engineering, which will build on a MOU signed earlier this year. Sask Polytech President Dr Larry Rosia said that Western Canada’s nuclear workforce will benefit from the centre’s “world-class training, hands-on simulation training, and industry best practices.”
