Getting started across the pond

[nvynuke86]

Hey Everyone,
First I must say I used this board a lot when I first got out of the Navy last year. I was an ELT, then got out and got a job as a Senior Rad Tech, mostly from the advice I found on this board. I am now an RPS, and things are going very well. I wanted to offer that to any nukes about to get out, or recently discharged.
I am now trying to find some info for my new brother in law. My sister met a guy studying in England, and has recently married him. She can't get a job there, and he is looking for something new. I told him, that if he is willing to work, the nuc community will offer a good life (money at least).
He doesn't have any nuke/science background what so ever. I know there are some schools in the US that have an RP training program. Does the UK have anything like that?
I have heard about Radwise, but are they similar to Bartlett? Meaning, do they hire new people and get them trained as a juniors and so on? Are there any companies there that offer something like that?
It would be great if anyone has some advice, or anything I can forward to him.
Thanks in advance

Obviously under a different name since you just registered!

I don't know of any programs in the UK; however, he could apply for a student visa (although unless your sister has changed renounced her citizenship they could come back to the US) and attend one of the certified programs here and you could probably help him (as a PP-HPS) with a job to gain experience.  If they later wanted to return to the UK, he would have the education and experience to do so!

why can't you get him a job ware your a supervisor?  seams like it'd be good for family relationships for yew to stand up for him.

Yes I did re-register recently. I completely forgot my old username and password, and figured it would be quicker to just re-register.
She has dual citizenship, so they both could come over here without issue. I have told him about the programs we have, and due to his age and now being married he wants to be able to make the transition quicker. If I am not mistaken, aren't these programs about two years long?
I would help him out, but I don't have any openings and my RPM has an issue with hiring someone without experience. I am also at a union plant, so they need to offer the jobs in-house first. They very rarely go out of the union to hire people.
I wish he could just go to a plant out there and start as a decon tech, and progress up until he is a senior then move over. Does anyone know if it works that way out there?
Anyway, thanks for the help. If anyone else has anything they know if I would appreciate it.
