BACKGROUND
Senior leadership has recognized that there is a shortage of employees
being trained and developed to secure more management positions in
the near term. Thus, managers have been challenged to review their
current programs for hiring, training, and developing college graduates
and employees in the lower grade levels.
With this in mind, senior management at Savannah River Site decided
that the College Hire Advisory Council should be expanded to address
the issues relevant to SRS and all of its college hires. The program
was originally initiated in Bechtel's San Francisco Office, and
has become a platform for SRS CHAC to grow on.

Open to all college hires (0-5 years) and those that have a particular
interest in the college hire program. Currently there are over 300
