- Individuals who are energized, prepared, and ready for interactive training on industry issues and how best to address them with various stakeholders (see the workshop requirements below for more information about pre-workshop preparation)
Objectives:
This revised, interactive, multimedia-focused workshop will help you:
- build and enhance your communications skills for addressing industry and company- and site-specific issues
- develop a greater understanding of nuclear technology and radiological sciences
- gain a better understanding of stakeholder priorities and interests
- learn more about how stakeholder and policy groups interact with the industry and the media
- discover more about NEI and the resources that are available to you
Workshop requirements:
This participatory learning experience requires that, in advance of the workshop, attendees:
- complete and return the Fundamentals questionnaire by January 19 so that workshop activities can be tailored to each participant’s needs
- develop a one-to-two-minute “sound byte†that addresses a key issue your company is facing for on-camera media training.
- NEI also encourages participants to bring case studies and company best practices to share with their industry communications colleagues.
