News: Support for nuclear manufacturing expanded
The National Skills Academy (NSA) for Nuclear has expanded its offer to UK manufacturers who supply (or are looking to supply) the nuclear industry.
A collaboration with manufacturing skills group Semta, the NSA Nuclear Manufacturing has created a single point of entry for employers and a dedicated team, based at the Nuclear AMRC's facility on the Advanced Manufacturing Park in Rotherham. It was established to tackle the most urgent skills challenges facing the nuclear manufacturing industry.
The academy operates on a membership model, with industrial members gaining full access to its specialist skills services such as training and skills products, a specialist provider network and a range of innovative support tools.
And now with the National Metals Technology Centre (NAMTEC) joining the University of Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), members of the skills academy will now have access to NAMTEC's Manufacturing Forum.
The forum provides the opportunity for members to explore new market and technology development opportunities in high growth sectors and member services and benefits include business intelligence, supply chain information, facilitated attendance at exhibitions and support for international trade.
Annette Valentine, training and skills manager at Nuclear AMRC, said: "We are delighted to offer these additional benefits to members. These will enable companies to build new networks and business relationships as well as accessing industry knowledge and intelligence.
"This will help companies develop their plans to move into or extend their business in nuclear manufacturing."
Alan McLlelland, managing director at AMRC NAMTEC, added: "One of the key goals of the Forum is to draw the UK engineering manufacturing community together around the opportunities for sustainable growth and diversification so it is a pleasure to welcome this body of leading organisations into our activities."
The first event from the newly merged AMRC and NAMTEC Forum takes place this week at the AMP. Rolls-Royce will lead a morning of exclusive insight into 3D scanning and non-contact measurement technologies, and how they can improve efficiency and create new capabilities in advanced manufacturing.
On October 25, AMP-based Performance Engineered Solutions (PES) will also explain how 3D scanning can add value to many different manufacturing operations apart from measuring and validation.
