Participants of the National Youth Nuclear Dialogue in Tashkent proposed to expand practical training for students planning to work in the nuclear industry. Among the initiatives are short-term internships lasting from two to four weeks, including at foreign nuclear power plants, as well as providing students from various engineering universities with access to the training simulators of the Tashkent branch of NRNU MEPhI. According to young specialists, such measures will help consolidate theoretical knowledge and familiarize themselves with the work of industry organizations even during their studies.
The dialogue took place within the framework of the international initiative Impact Team 2050. It was attended by students, young scientists, representatives of relevant departments, universities, and organizations of the nuclear industry. After meeting with leaders, participants in working groups discussed education, career prospects, career guidance, regional infrastructure, and public attitudes towards nuclear energy. Mukriddin Umidov, a member of the International Youth Advisory Board of Impact Team 2050, noted that the demand for practical experience comes from students even before completing their bachelor's degree.
Special attention was paid to the accessibility of information about nuclear professions for residents of the regions. As an example of career guidance work, Umidov cited meetings with schoolchildren and youth in Jizzakh and emphasized the need to expand such events. In addition, participants proposed creating a single information resource with industry news and technical materials. Social networks, allowing complex topics to be explained in more accessible language, should become an additional tool for popularizing nuclear technologies.
