RICHLAND, Wash. - Mission Support Alliance (MSA), contractor for EM Richland Operations Office, recently hosted science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) students from a local high school at the Volpentest Hazardous Materials Management and Emergency Response (HAMMER) Federal Training Center. The students gained a better understanding of the work at Hanford and the site’s career opportunities, and learned about Hanford Patrol and its training regimen. The Hanford Fire Department provided an overview of fire response and training and walked students through the building at HAMMER where the firefighters practice techniques. Teams from MSA’s cybersecurity and engineering organizations discussed how the Hanford Site uses experts to ensure information and employees are kept safe in the digital world. The visit concluded with the students learning how Hanford is preparing the next generation of workers. STEM tours support the Hanford Site’s Future Workforce initiative, providing outreach to local students and educators interested in careers at the site. In this photo, Hanford Fire Department Capt.
