See It, Be It: Exploring Options In Nuclear Careers

The path to a career in nuclear isn’t a straight line. In fact, there are many paths leading in a wide range of directions. Made possible in part by a generous grant from Constellation, See It, Be It presents a series of webinars featuring real people talking about their careers in nuclear science and technology. Technicians, engineers, sailors, researchers, and more allow students to see what they could be in a nuclear career.


See It, Be It: Pathways to Nuclear Careers
In this webinar, the first in the See It, Be It series, an expert panel including representatives from government, corporate, and military organizations provides an overview of the range of careers offered in nuclear science and technology.
