Our future relies on the new ideas and energy brought from college and university campuses to NRC. We’ve developed a number of special educational initiatives, summer programs, and internship opportunities that put NRC at the top of any students short-list of potential employers.

#### Nuclear Regulator Apprenticeship Network

We hire recent graduates with bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degrees and strong academic                    records in health physics, earth sciences, or engineering to participate in hands on training and                    real-world experience by working on apprenticeships with technical experts. This is a holistic                    apprenticeship that not only focuses on technical skills, but also personal development and awareness.                    You would be a part of a community of recent college graduates who will go through the program with you.                    Every member of the community will be mentored by senior community members who will help you find the                    best path for your career and support your development.
