WIT (Workforce Industry Training)
NPI’s Workforce Industry Training (WIT) program is for high school students who are interested in expanding their knowledge and understanding of careers in nuclear applications, clean energies, and manufacturing. Engaging the NPI network, WIT programming will continue to mentor, encourage, and prepare students for the future Texas workforce utilizing Texas A&M University programs, partner institutions and industries, and other TEES partners. By participating in WIT, students gain exposure to higher education and career opportunities through field trips, presentations, and other events while building the confidence and enthusiasm to consider careers in nuclear applications, clean energies, and manufacturing in Texas.
