The Philippine-American Educational Foundation (PAEF) convened the ‘Nuclear Workforce Educational Forum: A US-PH Exchange of Ideas’ on June 11 at the University of Makati. The forum, part of the Freedom 250 Lecture Series, commemorates the 250th anniversary of the United States and the 80th anniversary of the Fulbright Program.
Attended by representatives from Philippine higher education institutions, policymakers, and industry leaders including AboitizPower and Meralco, the event aimed to increase awareness and strengthen understanding of nuclear education and operations. The goal is to support workforce readiness for the country’s emerging nuclear sector.
In his opening remarks, PAEF Executive Director Julio Amador III emphasized the importance of nuclear energy to the Philippines and highlighted how the United States’ decades of experience can guide safe development. The forum signals a concrete step toward building a skilled workforce for nuclear power, which is seen as a key component of the country’s energy future.
Discussions covered nuclear education programs, regulatory frameworks, and industry partnerships. The event underscores the growing collaboration between the Philippines and the US in advancing nuclear energy as a clean and reliable power source.
