DUNBAR, United Kingdom, Oct. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UK Jobs Insider teamed up with the UK Government to help connect young job seekers with emerging opportunities in the expanding nuclear and clean energy sectors. This development comes alongside the landmark UK-US nuclear deal, marking a new era of growth and employment prospects in the UK’s clean energy industry.
Bridging Policy, Industry, and Youth Career Aspirations
As part of a collaboration between the UK Government, Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) and UK Jobs Insider, Energy Minister Michael Shanks spoke about the thousands of new opportunities emerging as the UK invests in its next generation of nuclear projects.
When asked where young people can actually find these roles, he pointed to platforms such as Destination Nuclear and stressed that the sector offers something rare: stability and longevity. “If you have a career in the nuclear industry, it’s one that you can stay with for a very long time… It’s not just one project or two projects; it’s a series of projects, so there will be work for a long time to come,” he said.
He also underlined why now is such a critical moment: “This is the most exciting time to be in the energy industry. We’re in a transition from a fossil fuel energy system to a clean power system. It’s a historic shift, and you can be part of helping Britain have energy security, climate leadership, and a good job for life.”
For many young people weighing up careers in finance, consulting, or tech, this message highlights how nuclear can provide not only long-term prospects but also the chance to contribute to one of the most important transformations of our time.
