City College Plymouth plays a strategic role in developing the skills pipeline for the nuclear industry, supporting both national security and energy resilience. Our contribution extends beyond Plymouth’s role in nuclear submarine maintenance to the broader nuclear sector, ensuring that highly skilled professionals are available to meet the growing demands of this critical industry.
With global tensions and evolving security challenges, the Nuclear Continuous at Sea Deterrent (CASD) remains fundamental to national defence. Since its establishment in April 1969, CASD has ensured a credible and uninterrupted nuclear presence, reinforcing the need for a highly trained workforce capable of maintaining the nuclearpowered Royal Navy submarine fleet.
