Global Nuclear Skills Institute launch, 20 June 2012, Oxford Street

The first event at BITE's new campus in the heart of London at Oxford Street was the launch on 20 June of a new partnership, the Global Nuclear Skills Institute. BITE will be offering a range of customised professional programmes and developing new areas with the Global Nuclear Skills Institute at Oxford Street.

Lord Ahmed of Rotherham welcomed guests and said that BITE now has the opportunity to target students from all over the world who love to be in the centre of this vibrant city. He noted that BITE has created its own unique programmes with its leading partners and that is what it has done with the National Nuclear Laboratory in creating the Global Nuclear Skills Institute.

Mark Sharpe, Strategic Business Development, National Nuclear Laboratory gave a presentation on the Global Nuclear Skills Institute. He has over 25 years experience in the nuclear industry and was at the heart of the industry as it went through various privatisations and major restructuring. In recent years he has become central in developing a number of partnerships and collaborations for NNL aimed at growing the business into new sectors and new markets.

Dr. Farmer, CEO of the British Institute of Technology and E-commerce said that the central location of the new campus will help take BITE into exciting further new areas including the partnership with the Global Nuclear Skills Institute. This new initiative will help develop the skills to provide international leadership for the nuclear professionals of tomorrow.
