National Commission for Nuclear Energy - CNEN Specialized: Training Program for Qualification of the Nuclear Brazilian Workforce

The set of actions related to the objectives foreseen for the nuclear sector requires the strengthening of the national technological capacity in the various areas contemplated in the Brazilian Nuclear Program. In this context, the CNEN's Specialized Training Program, over the last years, has played a role of great importance and relevance for the National Commission of Nuclear Energy. The Specialized Training Program has become a fundamental tool for all nuclear institutions in Brazil, enabling projects of socio economic relevance, expanding and improving the technical scientific services offered by it and allowing to increase the potential of scientific and technological research execution. It is important that the amount of resources allocated to the Specialized Training Program, implemented by CNEN, be reviewed and expanded in the next five years (2018-2022), thus allowing that the objectives proposed for the Program in this new period can be fulfilled with efficiency and effectiveness, contemplating the demands of the Brazilian Nuclear Program.
