Leaders for the 21st Century

Over 80% of students who use neutron beams as part of their university training go on to careers in the sectors where high-tech skills and innovation are most needed, including manufacturing, scientific and engineering services, and universities.

These students are also more than three times as likely to upgrade their skills and leadership potential in these R&D-intensive sectors: 60% of undergrads who use neutron beams earned graduate degrees, with two-thirds earning a doctorate. By comparison, only 16% of Canadian university graduates earn graduate degrees.

Alumni interviewed credited their neutron beam experience with contributing to their subsequent academic achievement and career success.

Similar studies have been replicated for other Major Research Facilities (MRFs) in Canada, further indicating that MRFs are highly effective at training the innovative workforce of tomorrow.
