Building Education for Energy
What is BEE?
BEE is a national workforce campaign to prepare the next generation for the most critical energy transition in American history.
Our mission is to inspire, educate, and mobilize the next generation of energy leaders and professionals.
BEE engineers a future-ready energy workforce by activating a nationwide support network across education, industry, innovation, defense, space, and community organizations. At its core, this movement is a strategic push to elevate public understanding of nuclear power’s transformative potential as a catalyst for national resilience, technological advancement, and generational prosperity. Rather than funding programs directly, we galvanize support for the initiatives that empower emerging talent and build high-impact job opportunities for the energy industry: STEM education, trade and vocational training, job transition and interdisciplinary programs.
