DOE’s mission to address the nation’s science, energy, environmental, and nuclear challenges cannot be carried out without a diverse and well-trained STEM workforce. DOE recognizes that a wide range of expertise and talent coupled with diverse perspectives and approaches will bring about innovation. To develop the solutions to its complex mission challenges, DOE aims to train and retain a network of talented STEM professionals, whether they are performers at DOE National Laboratories or Sites, universities, colleges, non-profit research organizations, industry, or within the federal DOE program offices.
