Unleash Your Organizational Superpower Through Talent Development

Looking at the nuclear industry from a demand, policy support, and investment perspective, it is primed for unprecedented growth not seen since the 1970s. Utilities are exploring new builds and capacity expansion options to address this growth.

But when we look at this demand from a talent perspective, another narrative emerges.

As projected growth materializes, talent development will become one of the primary constraints to nuclear energy expansion. In other words, talent development could limit the GWe nuclear can deliver to the grid, whether from new builds or through expanding the capacity of existing plants.

Good news! With the right approach, training becomes an organizational superpower that can dramatically improve human performance as utilities scale up the workforce and plant capacity.

A Scientific Approach to Learning

At Westinghouse, we start with neuroscience-specifically neuroeducation. After all, we know that to impact the bottom line, people must retain and transfer knowledge from the classroom to their workplace.

That is why our neuroeducation experts have developed practical techniques from our own research to improve student learning and outcomes in the workplace.

We start with social trust, making sure learners feel safe to admit that they do not know or do not understand a concept. Then, our technically competent instructors create a productive atmosphere for learning.

Our programs provide spaced repetition because when it comes to how people commit information into long-term memory, research shows that learners who break their time into several smaller study events remember far more information and remember it longer-term than those who studied in a single event.

Then, we help students practice recalling information because data shows that those who use recall practice remember significantly more than those who do not practice retrieving information from their long-term memories.

Finally, leaders learn to help students find real opportunities to apply classroom learnings in the workplace. And through supportive reinforcement and thoughtful feedback, training supercharges employee performance across plant operations.

Advanced Training Technologies and Digital Solutions

Built on our research-backed neuroeducation approach, our Nuclearning training platform combines on-site classes and engaging technologies such as virtual reality, 3D models, interactive diagrams, graphic simulators, field simulators, and full-scope simulators.

Our simulation solutions create truly immersive experiences where employees practice in true-to-life simulated environments and critical circumstances in areas such as the plant's own control room.

Applying neuroleadership, our highly qualified instructors participate in the analysis, design, preparation, delivery, and evaluation of the training programs to facilitate the learning process. We help your organizational leaders identify opportunities for student practice while providing encouragement and feedback.

Upskilling is a fantastic way to help plants unlock more nuclear capacity. Work directly with Westinghouse experts to supercharge the training programs at your site.
