  "text": "Project 1: Education and Training Programme Development\nBackground\nThe Agency plays an important role in the provision of coordinated education and training programmes that strengthen capabilities in States to establish and sustain nuclear security regimes. Sufficient numbers of competent and motivated personnel is one of the important prerequisites to establish and sustain States’ nuclear security regimes. Training is an important means to achieve the competence and adequate performance of personnel. The IAEA assists States by providing training based on States’ requests and needs as well as supporting the establishment of nuclear security training programmes and training organisations including Nuclear Security Support Centres (NSSCs).\nThe Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) is a training approach that provides a logical progression from the identification of the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to perform a job or role in nuclear security to the development and implementation of training to achieve these competencies, and subsequent evaluation of this training. The use of e-learning and other computer training tools, will be a particular focus under this project. This project is not limited to the development of education and training, but also involves coordination of networks such as the International Nuclear Security Education Network (INSEN) and the International Network for Nuclear Security Training and Support Centres (NSSC Network).\nObjectives\nThe purpose of this project is promote an integrated approach to human resource development in the field of nuclear security, and to assist States in building their capacity to develop and implement effective and sustainable educational and training programmes for human resource development in nuclear security, based on identified needs.\nTo build stronger cooperation and facilitate increased information exchange among States on the development and implementation of education and training programmes for nuclear security through the INSEN and the International NSSC Network and the Nuclear Security Information Portal (NUSEC).\nDeliverables\n1.. Human resources development methodology for nuclear security shared with and used by States.\n2.. Leadership Academy for Nuclear Security established.\n3.. Experience and good practices in nuclear security training shared.\n4.. Support to Member States in application of SAT methodology provided.\n5.. Support in undertaking continuous, regular training needs analysis (TNA), evaluation of training, and establishment of training committees provided.\n6.. Support for and coordination of NSSC Network activities, to facilitate sharing of information and resources and to promote cooperation among States with an NSSC or those having an interest in developing a centre.\n7.. Provision of assistance to States in establishing and operating NSSCs to sustain national nuclear security regimes through programmes in human resource development, technical support and scientific support.\n8.. Support for regional and sub-regional cooperation among States with planned or operational NSSCs.\n9.. INSEN.\n10.. Master’s Programme in Nuclear Security.\n11.. Schools on Nuclear Security\n12.. Faculty Development Courses on Nuclear Security Education.\n13.. Teaching Materials for Nuclear Security Education Programmes.\n14.. Production of e-learning courses in all official IAEA languages, including translation.\n15.. Revision of legacy e-learning courses including revision of translation.\nOutcome\nStates are able to effectively initiate and implement measures to sustain their national nuclear security regimes, in particular, through programmes in human resource development, education, training, technical support, and scientific support.",
