Hispanic Heritage and Nuclear Careers: A First-Generation Perspective

The Diversity and Inclusion in ANS Committee presents "Hispanic Heritage and Nuclear Careers: A First-Generation Perspective” in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. This webinar will be presented in Spanish and we will offer an English voice-over recorded version afterward, ensuring that the content is accessible to all ANS members.

The webinar is designed for first-generation students and their families, but the tools and insights shared will be valuable to everyone. We will explore opportunities in the nuclear industry and provide resources to overcome unique challenges, helping to build a more diverse and inclusive workforce in the nuclear sector.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how nuclear energy can be a viable career option for you, your family, and your community!
