This year, the OnePPPO Internship initiative began with the formation of working groups with the 75 interns from EM and contractors Enterprise Technical Assistance Services (ETAS), Fluor-BWXT Portsmouth (FBP), Four Rivers Nuclear Partnership (FRNP) and North Wind Dynamics to provide a platform for interns to exchange insights, ideas and best practices across various disciplines within EM’s Portsmouth/Paducah Project Office (PPPO).
“The OnePPPO Internship program fosters a culture of teamwork and learning among our interns, encouraging them to leverage their unique perspectives for innovative solutions and building on DOE’s commitment to nurture talent and foster a robust workforce,” PPPO Manager Joel Bradburne said.
Through structured discussions, hands-on projects, and field activities participation, interns in the OnePPPO Internship program not only deepened their technical knowledge but also cultivated essential communication and leadership skills by promoting knowledge-sharing and professional development.
