The implication of the business environment in the educational process, especially in the engineering field, contributes to the achievement of our current objectives in terms of innovation, progress and changing the business culture and increasing the entrepreneurial spirit among the young generation. Partnerships such as this one can also be capitalized by the direct involvement of the industry specialists in the teaching process.

Beyond the motivation and retention efforts that the company undertakes, the identification and training of the new generation is in itself the guaranty of the high performance of the nuclear industry.
