OAS, Oxfordshire Advanced Skills, has formed a collaborative partnership with WiN UK as part of their commitment to promoting gender diversity within the STEM sector.
OAS launched its new focus on Equality Diversity & Inclusion (ED&I) in September 2020, with the aim of improving inclusive access to engineering apprenticeships both within and beyond the OAS training centre. Their collaborative partnership with WiN UK will help to increase OAS’s reach and impact, whilst also supporting WiN UK’s objective to encourage girls and women into the nuclear industry.

National Nuclear Laboratory supports WiN UK with strategic direction and annual funding. Olivia Thompson, NNL Head of Skills and Development, is a member of WiN UK’s Strategic Advisory Group. NNL’s funding has enabled the development of this website and other activities related to WiN UK becoming an independent organisation.
This partnership leverages the knowledge, skills and capabilities of each organisation, with work underway to deliver a co-ordinated, sector-wide approach to diversity and inclusion. This comes at a time when ambitious plans for nuclear, outlined in the British Energy Security Strategy, puts the sector in prime position as a powerful engine for job creation and economic growth.
Over an initial five years, the partners will engage in a number of wide-ranging strategic initiatives to boost diversity. From careers outreach activity designed to attract girls and women into the industry to the development of female leaders within the workforce. The collaboration represents a major push for the attraction, retention and development of skills within the UK’s nuclear industry.
Further details regarding the scope of the partnership are covered in a Memorandum of Understanding.
Download the Memorandum of Understanding (PDF)Alongside the Gender Roadmap, a high-level Commitment Pledge is available for nuclear employers and individuals to pledge their support to the Nuclear Sector Deal commitment target of a 40% female workforce by 2030.
