#NOWMemoriesMonday: The Nuclear Workforce Training & Education panel moderated by Michelle Goodson, SHRM-SCP with ORAU was our largest panel. Flora Tydings, Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR); Holly Cross, Oak Ridge Schools; Megan Martin, MSHR, Type One Energy; Matt Mullins, American Museum of Science and Energy; Rebecca Salvadore, Constellation/ U.S. Women in Nuclear (U.S. WIN); Daniel Smith International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), were her panelists. They discussed strategies to grow and sustain the nuclear workforce by building awareness, expanding training opportunities, and strengthening partnerships across education, industry, and communities. Early engagement was emphasized, with programs targeting students from elementary school through high school, using hands-on learning, dual enrollment, and outreach materials to spark interest in nuclear careers. In East Tennessee, much is happening to train the future workforce. For example, programs like dual enrollment at Roane State Community College and partnerships with Pellissippi State Community College and University of Tennessee, Knoxville are helping students earn credentials and degrees that lead directly into nuclear careers. Regional institutions such as ORAU and AMSE in Oak Ridge are engaging students as early as elementary school through hands-on STEM activities, field trips, and Nuclear Science Week events to build long-term interest. Technical colleges, unions, and industry partners are expanding apprenticeship programs, funding certifications, and supporting pathways that include both trades and advanced degrees.
