SRNS Program Provides Model for Assisting Wounded Warriors Re-enter Workforce

For many wounded veterans, getting back into the job market is one of the most important – and potentially most daunting – steps in returning to civilian life. The U.S. Department of Energy's Savannah River National Laboratory and its management and operating contractor Savannah River Nuclear Solutions have joined forces with the CSRA Wounded Warrior Care Project to help assist wounded warriors re-enter the workforce.

Jason Rainey, the first veteran recruited and hired under the SRNS Wounded Warrior Support Initiative, recently reported to SRNL to begin a three- to four-month assignment designed to expand his skill base and prepare him for rejoining the workforce.

"We have donated money to the CSRA Wounded Warrior Care Project to help with a number of their initiatives, but we wanted to do something more," said SRNS President Garry Flowers. "This is something real and specific we can do to support an individual who has made a great sacrifice in his service of our country." Flowers hopes that the SRNS program can serve as a model for other national laboratories and other companies across the country.
