Women in Nuclear (WiN) Central England Branch held a networking and speed mentoring event at UKAEA on the Culham Campus, Oxford, last night (06/11/25).
There were five mentors representing UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), Nuclear Waste Servies (NWS), Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) and Collaborative Environmental Advisors (CEA) with six mentees who all had the chance to talk to all mentors.
Speed mentoring is a great way to introduce both mentor & mentee to each other in short, timed sessions of ~15/20 minutes. Mentees are able to gain insight from each mentor in order to foster quick relationships as opposed to the longer-term commitment of a traditional mentor.
This concept is also valuable for the mentor who gains skills and a development opportunity by talking to different professionals and offering important support.
The evening offered diverse perspectives, a focused learning opportunity, the ability to network during, before and after sessions, and allows a more informal setting than some traditional methods.
Please reach out if you are interested to hear how you can join your local branch of WiN for free! We encourage men and women to join as we want to foster collaboration and allyship in the industry.
On 4th November 2025, UKAEA hosted Fusion of Talent at Culham Campus—a one-day event spotlighting the diverse roles and contributions of women and underrepresented genders in computing. The programme featured:
The event fostered networking, collaboration, and open dialogue on how diversity drives innovation in sectors like high-performance computing and nuclear safety. It welcomed allies and advocates from academia, industry, and government, reinforcing the message: representation matters for the future of tech and energy.
We were in attendance 22.10.25 for the Cotswold School Career Fair with Women in Nuclear (WiN) Central England branch to talk about nuclear careers.
The day offered us the chance to talk with secondary school students in order to spark their interest in careers in STEM.
Many of the students we spoke to were interested to know what they could do with a science, maths or engineering education and what the future career possibilities looked like.
A big focus for us is a broad engineering background as this enables the learner to have a diverse perspective, a transferable skill set and strong foundations to move into a multitude of job functions.
Something to bear in mind for the nuclear sector is the unknown job roles of tomorrow as there are many opportunities ahead of us that are still developing.
So, whether you’re interested in the environment & sustainability, business management, engineering, science, or community engagement, there are a plethora of job functions, careers and opportunities that will suit all individuals.
Following success of WiN London & Southeast previous events, they are back with another relaxed evening of connection, conversion and community – bringing together professionals from across the nuclear sector in London & the Southeast.
