The “Nuclear Education and Research Vertical Enhancement project, also referred to as Project Nuclear Education and Research Vertical Enhancement or Nuclear Education and Research Vertical Enhancement program, is a novel education-to-workforce practical approach based on the Vertical Education Enhancementmodel. It uses multi-track training activities that vertically cut across the following education domains: middle/high school, two-year colleges, undergraduate degree programs, graduate schools, and post-doctoral training (Egarievwe et. al., 2011). Project Nuclear Education and Research Vertical Enhancement uses laboratory work, internships at nuclear facilities, on-campus research, and mentoring in collaboration with industry and government partners to provide hands-on training for students. Emphasis was placed on recruitment campaigns, retention initiatives, and job placement drives to ensure a constant flow of student from high schools through college to nuclear and STEM workforce. The program has a solid infrastructure supported with training resources and facilities from on-campus research centers, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Tennessee Valley Authority nuclear plants, and FLIR Inc.
