Do you want to know who are the new companies coming to Oak Ridge as part of the nuclear renaissance - which ones which have definite plans and which ones are still pondering. What, and how, are the initiatives being implemented by our signature community college - Roane State - to meet this opportunity. What are the support certifications (security, computer technology, fuel cycle, radiation measurement, manufacturing, etc) that will be supporting this new industry. Come and join us for a great presentation by a passionate educator on the future of Oak Ridge workforce education.
