The DNE (Defence Nuclear Enterprise) Skills Transformation Programme includes the Inspire and Attraction team who has responsibility for exciting the next generation of the future workforce. To achieve this ambition, we will be engaging with educational establishments across the UK and devolved administrations, which will include schools, colleges, and universities.
