Nordic Nuclear Trainee Program
The Nordic Nuclear Trainee Program (NNTP) is a 15-month initiative designed for emerging professionals in the Nordic nuclear industry. The latest program began in September 2024. This program offers a valuable opportunity to gain business insight, build industry-specific knowledge, and network with fellow professionals across the Nordic region. NNTP is jointly organized by the four Nordic nuclear operators — Fortum, Teollisuuden Voima (TVO), Uniper, and Vattenfall. Through a rotation system, participants will have the chance to engage with several of these companies during the program.

NNTP module 3: Building bonds and knowledge
The NNTP trainees got to start 2025 with excitement in the air as our third module was fast approaching. The venue would be the Olkiluoto 3 Nuclear Power Plant and visitor center. I have personally never gone to Olkiluoto, or Rauma for that matter.

Insights from the first module
The first module was exciting. We spent a lot of time getting to know each other, and it seems like we have a good group of people in this program. Besides networking, we also had some informative presentations. The module concluded on the third day with a visit to the Forsmark nuclear power plant.
