The IAEA provides the opportunity for young people to learn about IAEA safeguards through the Safeguards Traineeship for Young Graduates and Junior Professionals. Since its inception in 1983, the traineeship has sought to increase the number of qualified candidates eligible to work at the IAEA or within their State or Regional regulatory authority responsible for safeguards. In addition, in 2024 the IAEA launched the TechTrack programme which offers candidates the opportunity to gain practical work experience in technical areas relevant to nuclear verification. During this side event, the Department of Safeguards will present the traineeships, the success so far, and the future of the programmes.

This event will be held on Wednesday, 18 September 2024, from 9.30 a.m. to 10.00 a.m. at ESPACE M0E, M Building, ground floor.
