- America’s nuclear energy industry faces a critical problem that ORAU’s newly launched STEM Accelerator hopes to solve.
- However, there is a critical shortage of the skilled professionals needed to oversee manufacturing, construction and operation of these facilities.
- The ORAU STEM Accelerator (OSA) was created to help bridge this gap by convening a diverse network of two- and four-year academic institutions, industry, non-profit, professional organizations, labor unions and government partners with the aim of addressing the toughest challenges in STEM education, training, research and innovation.
- “OSA will focus its work in three sectors: nuclear science and technology, space manufacturing and critical national infrastructure,” Olivia Blackmon, OSA director said.
