Urenco USA was awarded the New Mexico Junior College (NMJC) Foundation’s President’s Circle Award. This award honors and recognizes a donor from the business community who has made significant contributions to NMJC. NMJC is one of Urenco’s Social Impact Partnerships. Urenco USA has partnered with NMJC to build a Nuclear Energy Certificate and Associate Degree Program to prepare future workforce for a career in the nuclear industry. This program is a continuation of the high school workforce training program at the Career and Technical Education Center of Hobbs (CTECH). Over the course of four years, Urenco USA will invest $400,000 in educational support to NMJC students that are part of this program. “We are very proud to receive this prestigious honor and provide the opportunity for local students to train for careers in the nuclear industry. The current students in the program are great examples of how local talent can become our future workforce,” Lisa Hardison, Director of Community Relations.

Every year, UUSA employees and contractors gather together to honor those who were impacted by the events of September 11 by working on home and community improvements in our hometown of Eunice. In addition, our employees volunteer more than 2,100 hours each year to support non-profit organizations.

Our Richie’s Science Workshops have been presented to more than 20,000 local students over the past decade and are facilitated with the help of more than 150 employee volunteers each year. These workshops teach the scientific method and demonstrate the science behind the enrichment process through a number of interactive experiments. Students and teachers continue to provide positive feedback year after year.

To support our local communities further, we offer a summer internship program. These internships provide students with the opportunity to learn about the nuclear industry while working on projects that will enrich their knowledge in their field of study.
