Six youth apprentices are making a meaningful impact this year as part of the Savannah River Site’s (SRS) Youth Apprenticeship Program. The program, integral to the SRS Apprenticeship School and its 29 registered apprenticeships, welcomes high school students from Aiken, Columbia and Richmond counties. Since its expansion sitewide in 2020, the Apprenticeship School has graduated nearly 850 apprentices, with 91% successfully securing full-time positions at the site. “To modernize the nation’s nuclear deterrent, we need a strong and diverse base of national expertise and educational opportunities in specialized technical areas that contribute to this mission,” said Sean Alford, senior vice president and chief administrative officer for Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS), the site’s managing and operations contractor. “Our program is designed to support STEM disciplines that are critical to the Nuclear Security Enterprise and the Department of Energy, such as nuclear operations and other technical areas.”
