Impacting one student at a time • From SRSCRO in Georgia on Nuclear Workforce Initiatives (NWI) Academy: “Students engaged in the program have a clear path to develop recognized industry credentials and college credits that jumpstart their training program toward skills currently in demand. At least 95% of the students engaged in programs to date knew nothing of their local career opportunities in this realm prior to entering the program. To date, 15 at risk young adults who never considered entering college have enrolled in college programs after attending NWI Academies and are developing skills for local careers. Not including college credits, 65 industry-recognized credentials were earned by the students.”
