Uncharted Waters: Expanding Nuclear Outreach and Workforce Recruiting
February 19, 2025|1:00–2:30PM (2:00–3:30PM EST)
Available to All Users
Are your recruitment and outreach efforts reaching communities of people who have been historically excluded from nuclear science education and from participating in the nuclear industry? Do you find yourself doing the same few events for the same audiences every single year, such as presenting about nuclear science at your child’s school or posting job openings on LinkedIn? Have you tried to build connection with new communities, but faced barriers rooted in distrust or communications?
This training will help you identify the underresourced and low-income communities in your local area. You will learn how to identify and develop relationships with community gatekeepers, and overcome potential perceived dissimilarity and distrust, as well as logistical barriers to communicating with the gatekeeper or community members. These are critical first steps to expanding truly nationwide access to nuclear science for all.
