AWE

“When I grow into a scientist…” (Sam, aged 4) We like inspiring children of all ages to think about careers in #STEM. Earlier this month, we had the opportunity to combine doing just that with our first fundraiser for our charity partner Parents And Children Together (PACT) UK – hosting three The Royal Institution science shows in one day. 🔗 Learn more about our mission: https://lnkd.in/emeHAViH 🔗 Learn about our work in the community: https://lnkd.in/e2TnR8DY #delivery #security #technology #inspire #inspiring #learners

Jason Holmes and Ian Moore were presented with AWE’s Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award at an awards ceremony at London’s Victory Services Club last week. Talent Acquisition’s Jason works tirelessly to raise AWE’s profile with the Armed Forces community and wrote the Gold Award submission. Ian is Head of AWE’s veterans, reservists and cadet volunteers’ community.  The Employer Recognition Scheme is open to organisations who have pledged their support for the Armed Forces Covenant. AWE joins an exclusive club of fewer than 200 organisations that have been recognised by the UK Government with the highest badge of honour for supporting the Armed Forces community. AWE CEO Nick Elliott, said, “I am delighted that AWE has been presented with the Gold Award, thank you to everyone who supported us in achieving the highest badge of honour. As a veteran, I understand the value the veteran and reservist communities can bring to any organisation as well as the importance of supporting them. This award demonstrates AWE’s commitment to being a top choice employer for the wider Armed Forces community.” We encourage applications from anyone looking for a career outside of the military and offer amazing opportunities and a commitment to training and development to progress your career. 🔗 See our current vacancies - https://lnkd.in/eRFgRw4 #ArmedForcesCovenant

AWE and return-to-work specialists STEM Returners are partnering for a third time to continue their drive to help science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) professionals return to work after a career break. The new programme will welcome 15 professionals into AWE across these multiple disciplines. There is a well-known skills shortage in the UK engineering industry but, despite a clear demand for people, talented and educated returners are often overlooked. The STEM Returners’ programme aims to eliminate these barriers by giving candidates real work experience and mentoring during their placement, as well as supporting them to seamlessly adjust to life back in work. Since it launched in 2017, more than 500 professionals have found a permanent role. 🔗 For more info visit: https://lnkd.in/eNbq9pba #STEMExcellence #NationalSecurity #Defence #Technology #AdvancedTechnology #IndustryExpert #SpecialistSkills #Innovation #AWE

This December marks 70 years since former Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, made two important visits to AWRE, now AWE Nuclear Security Technologies. His visits to AWRE were key to his foreign and defence policy. His first visit to Aldermaston in December 1954 allowed him to understand the early thermonuclear research that was being developed. His second trip to the site was 67 years ago in December 1957. Records from this visit suggest that understanding pioneering engineering research was the focus of Churchill’s briefings. Fast forward to today, our engineering and technology teams continue to drive innovation, developing cutting-edge radiation sensor networks. These advancements play a vital role in protecting our nation’s borders and identifying undeclared radioactive materials, supporting national security. 🔗 Discover how advanced technology research supports our mission in national defence: https://lnkd.in/erA-hSke #STEMExcellence #NationalSecurity #Defence #Technology #AdvancedTechnology #IndustryExpert #SpecialistSkills #Innovation #AWE 

Just last month, 130 #graduates joined AWE - our largest ever intake. This highlights the investment we are making into the future workforce, developing #nuclear skills right here in the UK that will help secure the nation's future. The nuclear industry underpins hundreds of thousands of jobs across the UK, both directly and through the extended supply chain, and is growing rapidly. We are delighted to welcome our new colleagues, as they start their careers at AWE.

We are collaborating to fund creators of future advanced electronics and electromechanical devices as we seek novel technologies to enhance the resilience and reliability of the UK's Defence and Commercial Space Systems. Our latest Innovation Focus Area (IFA) builds on the Defence and Security Accelerator's extensive experience in identifying and supporting innovation projects. 🔗 Find out more about this Themed Competition: https://lnkd.in/eM7cW4Nh

Lasers. Precision engineering. Microelectronics. These are just a few of the areas that the UK supply chain will be critical in providing the best national capabilities. Our joint event, hosted alongside Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire & Chilterns Regional Defence & Security Cluster at the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus allowed SMEs, industry and academia the chance to opportunities to support the National Endeavour. We can only deliver the UK's nuclear deterrent through our #partnerships. 🔗 Read more about our partnerships: https://lnkd.in/ebtA237D #delivery #future #supplychain #tech

Planting more trees and improving access to nature provides habitats for wildlife and helps sequester #carbon. Behind closed doors at our #Aldermaston site, we’re planting 400 additional trees that will grow alongside 200 #trees already on site, including several ancient trees that have been standing for nearly 600 years. The ancient trees are symbols of our commitment to sustainability, alongside our national endeavour to maintain the UK’s security and prosperity. 🔗 Read the full article here on UK Defence Journal: https://lnkd.in/emntiKUG 🔗 Learn more about our work: www.awe.co.uk #climate #environment #future #netzero
