Careers information survey
The Augmented CINCH project aims to promote and increase awareness of and interest in careers in the field of nuclear and radiochemistry (NRC). To this end we are gathering information about how young people are influenced and how they access their careers information to allow us to produce effective and useful resources.

By taking part in this short survey students will have a direct influence on the way we advertise exciting opportunities such as internships, placements and interviews with employees working in industries such as nuclear power, nuclear medicine, and forensic science.
The survey can be accessed here

Please forward on this survey to your students so that they can take part.
