  1. Workforce Preparedness Natalie Martin-Smith Director, Talent Acquisition AREVA Inc. North America

  2. Current workforce landscape • AREVA Today • Today, 30% of the AREVA U.S. workforce are eligible to retire • With four generations in the workforce, 54% of our workforce are baby boomers • Workforce Projections • By 2016, 39% of the nuclear workforce will enter retirement age • By 2018, AREVA anticipates that 57% of our workforce will retire • Decreasing population • 75M Baby boomer are nearing retirement with, • 30M Generation x-ers to fill the roles

  3. Impending gap in needed talent pools 2001 4M begin 9th grade 2005 2.8M graduate High School 1.8M enrolled in 4 yr college 2011 167K graduate with STEM degree Decreasing number of STEM graduates

  4. Addressing the pending gap • Workforce planning • We must be deliberate in terms of hiring interns to full time hires • Based on age demographics, talent supply, and projected turnover, we anticipate that must hire a minimum of 1,000 university graduates and early career candidates by 2018 (5 years), to further develop, and perpetuate the talent pipeline • STEM Outreach • To date, more than 8,000 young people engaged in hands-on STEM exploration activities – AREVA sponsorship and participation has reached more than 7,000 students • 70% outreach/education activities are science fair/contest, tour/presentation, workshop/instruction, with 14% outreach/education activities are school visits • Sponsorship of teacher and student workshops • Provide Advisory Curriculum engagement

  5. Collaboration in STEM focus • AREVA sponsored 11 governors school students from January through May 2013 • The Governor’s STEM Academy launched mechatronics program for 25 students in Fall 2013. • AREVA has been a supporter of the effort since its inception and the program will be held at Central Virginia Community College in the AREVA Technology Center, which includes access to lab equipment and classroom space. • AREVA providing the Center for Advanced Engineering and Research (CAER) with a nuclear power plant simulator in the Business and Technology Center in Bedford, Va.

  6. Collaborationwith college and university • CVCC Nuclear Technology program • This program provides a mix of traditional academic courses, highly focused technology courses, hands-on learning experience, on-the-job training. • Technicians support field activities during outage seasons. • During non-outage seasons, technicians take CVCC courses and AREVA technical training. • Technicians receive college credit for a portion of their AREVA training. Technicians receive an Associate’s Degree in Nuclear Support Technologies. • 66 employees have graduated from the program • We are targeting Military Veterans and High School students for this program

  7. Collaborationwith college and university • Produced in VA • AREVA is a founding member of the program (starting in 2007) through which local students complete engineering degrees through the Central Virginia Community College (CVCC) and the University of Virginia. • While in school, sponsored students get on the job experience through internships and receive a full-time position upon graduating. • AREVA has five graduates of the program and three who just entered • Sweetbriar College/ AREVA Explore Engineering Program • AREVA - title sponsor for 2013 • For high school girls, this is a weeklong residential camp that immerses the students in both the college experience and the possibilities of an engineering career. • The summer program is hands-on, team-based and structured to emphasize creativity, problem solving and design principles.

  8. Collaborationwith college and university • Commonwealth Graduate Engineering Programs • AREVA has benefitted from 36 graduates since 1989 • Target schools for early career recruiting • VA Tech • UVA • VCU • GMU • VMI • LU (new engineering program) • Sweet Briar College
