Thursday, August 29th, 2024

Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS) is committed to hiring fresh young talent, recognizing that their innovative ideas can help propel the company further into the future. Recently, 61 interns received Full-Service Employment (FSE) offers and 25 received apprenticeship offers to further their careers and help build the SRNS pipeline of work ready employees.

This year, 193 students participated in the SRNS Summer internship program - a 7.2% increase in intern hires over last year’s program participation. Over the summer, students were able to gain experience in a variety of SRNS occupations, including: engineering, computer science, physical sciences, business services, communications, information technology, nuclear materials control and accountability, and others.

A recently held “Signing Day” allowed those interns being offered FSE to celebrate with their peers, SRNS managers, and mentors, while signing and accepting their position offers.

“This year’s Signing Day for the interns was absolutely spectacular,” said Kedesha McClary, SRNS Internship Coordinator. “It’s where dreams meet determination, passion ignites purpose, and the journey towards a brighter future begins. This day will be a reminder of the endless possibilities that await as these interns chase their ambitions with unwavering commitment and enthusiasm.”

SRNS President and Chief Executive Officer Dennis Carr congratulated the interns during a recent Intern signing day event.

“We’re not just investing in young talent; we’re investing in the future. These bright minds will help strengthen our pipeline and drive innovation to support our missions,” said SRNS President and Chief Executive Officer Dennis Carr. “This will not only grow our company but will also better the nation’s progress and future. Their energy and fresh perspectives are the driving force that will ensure we continue to lead the industry.”

The SRNS Internship Program offers opportunities for students attending two-year technical colleges and four-year colleges and universities up to the doctoral level to gain hands-on learning experiences related to their field of study. The goal of the internship program is to bridge the gap between academic study and its application in professional practice. Participation in an internship offers students a glimpse into a professional work environment, while networking with professionals.

Other students received offers to join the apprenticeship program, which creates qualified full-service employees trained in specific disciplines needed at SRS.
