NITF Strategy • Database of the Industry skills standards in the form of job contexts, qualifications and training standards • Is part of the Nuclear Skills Passport • Should only seek to produce standards where there is industry wide benefit • Only produce standards where it is intended to deliver through NSAN accredited providers and NEF assured companies • Companies can enter training on the skills passport for their own record where no industry standard exists
Job Context • We currently have 6 Job Context Families on the NITF. • The strategy is to produce job contexts for: - Safety Case Preparation • Nuclear site Waste Management • Extend Project Management Job Context family See http://www.cogent-ssc.com/industry/nuclear/nitfjs.php
Qualifications • We currently have 11 nuclear specific qualifications • NITF include general qualifications where these sit within job context and are agreed through NISSAG as Nuclear Industry relevant • Cogent will develop further National Occupational Standards and Qualifications where the Industry request this, their is sufficient population to justify the work and there is demand for a qualification • We currently have work underway for Nuclear Material Accounting and Safeguards and Operating Technicians.
Training Standards • We currently have 26 training standards • Training standards underpin job contexts • We produce training standards where there is considered to be a benefit from an industry wide approach • Where there is industry commitment to move to a standard approach through Nuclear Academy accredited providers • There is enormous potential to make lots of standards but we need to use what we have already • This area needs clarity regarding priorities and better uptake – standards sat on the database adding no value. Delivery model required • Has enormous potential for industry wide benefits through common standards, industry wide purchasing, elimination of repeat training – Pick a couple of winners
