2024 YGN Speaking competition - enter now
The competition gives individuals (under 37 years old) the opportunity to challenge themselves and to present for 10 minutes on a nuclear industry-related topic. We encourage you to present a talk on any nuclear-related topic, whether technical, personal, or social. We hope that this scope will encourage those of you new, or thinking of entering the industry to have a go. For those of you wishing to present a “commercial/sensitive topic”, can we remind you of the importance of obtaining permission from your employer. The competition is a great way to build upon presenting skills and provides an opportunity to speak about any topic relevant to nuclear. Presentations are 10 minutes with 5 minutes for questions.
The winner will be offered free presentation skills training and the national final winner will receive a place at the YGN Annual Dinner and the opportunity to present at the day seminar.
We are accepting applications for speakers. If you are interested in participating, please send a maximum of 200-word synopsis to events.northeast@nuclearinst.com.
