“Talent Collider” at the CNA Annual Conference 2024

PTAG is proud to be a Silver Sponsor for the Canadian Nuclear Association’s (CNA) Annual Conference in Ottawa, February 28 – March 1.

As part of PTAG’s long-term commitment to supporting new and young people joining the nuclear industry, PTAG will be leading two initiatives during the CNA2024 Conference in Ottawa this week.

  • In the weeks leading up to the conference, PTAG has hosted six “resume review” sessions that assisted the 100 students attending the CNA Conference to arrive prepared.  These sessions were hosted by PTAG’s Nuclear industry team, as well as long-time conference attendees.   Through this mentorship, we are proud to have played a part in empowering these future leaders as they embark on encounters with potential employers, ensuring they make the most of this invaluable opportunity.
  • On Wednesday, the first day of the conference,  in collaboration with TALENT (Ontario Tech Talent) group, PTAG is co-facilitating a speed dating format “Talent Collider,” which brings the CNA Student attendees new to the industry face-to-face with senior industry executives to learn first hand about their journey and to hear their advice on what and where the opportunities are.  With 30+ executives participating,  students will meet with the executives in small groups of 2-4 people for short orchestrated periods of time.

We are excited to see everyone on Wednesday, February 28th, at the CNA2024 Student Program’s Talent Collider Session at 2:00 p.m. in Room 214 at the Shaw Centre.

CNA Annual Conference 2023

We’ll be excited to discuss this year’s theme, “Canada’s Global Leadership” with some of the world’s leading nuclear industry professionals.

“Strengthening Canada’s role as a global leader in nuclear technology and innovation.”

Canadian nuclear energy is enjoying a surge of momentum not seen in over a decade. New projects are being announced and financed. The public is increasingly supportive of nuclear power. The promise of nuclear energy for meeting Canada’s energy and climate goals, as well as its international market opportunities, is increasingly understood by governments at all levels.

As part of PTAG’s long-term industry commitment to support more new and young people joining the Nuclear industry, PTAG will be leading two initiatives during the conference:

  • Already underway, we have designed and are delivering 8 sessions that help the nearly 100 students attending the conference make the most of the experience as they meet potential employers for the first time
  • In collaboration with Ontario Tech University’s TALENT group, we have designed and will facilitate the speed dating format “Talent Collider,” which brings those new to the industry with Senior Executives
