Why It’s Important
Academic programs at HBCUs like Lincoln University and South Carolina State University and national organizations like American Association of Blacks in Energy (AABE) are champions of the opportunities available through nuclear energy. Despite the success of these organizations and institutions, there is tremendous room in the market to increase the role of minorities in our nuclear future as customers, providers and suppliers. At a time when unemployment numbers remain high for African-American and Latino communities, nuclear energy is a fast-growing sector that offers accessible long-term, high-paying careers in communities across the United States.
Throughout this section, you will find important resources on the value nuclear energy provides to minority communities, including jobs, educational opportunities and economic development.
