This paper describes the training process for a nuclear project on a n
ew site. When Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. opened a project office in
Saskatoon, senior management recognized the need for large-scale staff
training and made the necessary commitments. Two types of training pr
ogram were initiated: general and technical. The general training plan
included topics related to the nuclear project life cycle. Technical
training was discipline and task specific. Based on the job descriptio
ns and staff qualifications, technical training requirements were docu
mented for the entire staff. The training strategy was developed and i
mplemented. Detailed records were maintained to monitor the progress,
draw conclusions and plan training for future nuclear facilities.
