At MissionCX, we’re committed to developing people, skills, and careers as part of our Social Impact Pledge. By bridging the skills gap in commissioning within the engineering, nuclear, energy, and defence sectors, we’ are aiming to build a sustainable talent pipeline—bringing in fresh talent while preserving the expertise of our senior teams.
With the UK nuclear workforce expected to grow by 20,000+ roles by 2030 and the engineering sector facing a shortfall of 173,000 skilled workers annually, investing in skills development has never been more critical. The demand for commissioning expertise is rising across major infrastructure, net-zero energy projects, and national defence programmes, presenting unparalleled career opportunities for the next generation. MissionCX is committed to shaping the workforce of tomorrow, ensuring the right skills are in place to support the industries that power the future.
Our award-winning Work Experience Week (WEX) has set the foundation for MissionCX Pathfinder, a 12-month structured programme designed to support skills development, industry engagement, and career progression.
To ensure a consistent and effective skills framework, we have partnered with Skills Builder, a programme widely adopted in schools and industry to provide a common language for essential skills development. By embedding this approach across both our external talent pipeline and internal career progression, we equip individuals with the skills they need from rookie to retiree, ensuring long-term career growth and industry readiness.
The MissionCX Pathfinder Programme launching this year includes:
🔹 Work Insight Week (WIN) – An introduction to commissioning, business operations, and engineering.
🔹 Work Experience Week (WEX) – Hands-on experience preparing students for future careers.
🔹Apprenticeships & MissionCX Academy – Scouting for the right students to join MissionCX for an unparalleled career opportunity in commissioning.
🔹 STEM Outreach & Industry Engagement – Partnering with Energy Coast UTC to nurture skills from education to employment.
To future-proof the industry, we want to ensure specialist knowledge is passed forward through schools, early careers and our People Programme, creating opportunities from rookie to retiree.
