WiN UK was formed in early 2014 to improve diversity and increase the skills base in the nuclear industry by encouraging gender balance. Our Executive Board is focused on four key objectives of Attraction, Retention, Dialogue and Industry Guidance. Our key objectives are: Attraction - to encourage women to join the nuclear industry through engagement with schools, colleges, universities, appropriate youth groups and nuclear sector employers to create dialogue and raise awareness of the industry via events and communications. Also to work with national organisations to provide consultation and feedback on best practice to achieve a gender balanced workforce. Retention - to support those already in the sector with career progression through mentoring and networking Dialogue - leading on broader engagement on diversity within the sector, but also on engaging women outside the industry in the debate on nuclear energy Industry Guidance – development and management of the Industry Charter, engagement with Charter signatories, development of toolkits and materials to aid companies by bringing together experts and information, in a guide on best practice. WiN UK is one of over 30 international chapters under the umbrella of Women in Nuclear Global. In August 2020, WiN UK transitioned to an independent organisation and is a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee.
