Workforce Industry Training

The Workforce Industry Training (WIT) program is funded and supported by the Nuclear Power Institute (NPI),
a joint center of Texas A&M University (TAMU) and Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES).

NPI’s Workforce Industry Training program is geared toward high school students interested in expanding their knowledge and understanding of careers in STEM. More specifically, the purpose of WIT is to mentor, encourage, and prepare students for STEM-rich programs at universities, two-year technical colleges, and technician certificate programs.

By participating in WIT, students gain exposure to higher education and career opportunities through field trips while building the confidence to consider further STEM education and careers. This confidence comes from the knowledge and familiarity students gain from their experiences in WIT. The WIT program engages students through local sponsors within participating schools in the State of Texas.
