An
initiative by some of Europe’s biggest nuclear energy firms to create
an academy to train and educate future industry leaders appears to be
foundering just two years after its optimistic launch in January 2010.
The
European Nuclear Energy Leadership Academy (Enela) was created when the
nuclear renaissance appeared to be taking off to train young graduates
and high potential employees with different backgrounds to become
leaders or to prepare them to take broader responsibilities in European
nuclear energy corporations and institutions.
It evolved out of the European Commission-sponsored European Nuclear Energy Forum and had EC support.
But
i-NUCLEAR has learned that Enela’s director, Jean-Claude Gauthier, a
senior vice president of Areva NP, has resigned from his post, along
with several other managers.
One
of the key programs of the academy, the Enela Management Programme, a
business and technical masters degree that was to be provided in
cooperation with the Technical University of Munich, has been officially
postponed, according to a statement on the Enela website. Sources told
i-NUCLEAR that the program has effectively been cancelled.
