Workforce development within critical materials supply research

Within Focus Area 1 (Enhancing and Diversifying Supply) project leaders are training a diverse group of scientists and engineers who will have the skills needed to develop technology and identify opportunities to increase the domestic supply of critical materials. Workforce development is occurring across the spectrum of education levels from undergraduate student design teams and technicians to graduate students pursuing M.S. and Ph.D. degrees to post doctoral fellows at national laboratories.
