Abstract

The Initiatives to Grow New Innovate Talent to Enable Fusion Energy (IGNITE Fusion Energy) project was launched under the U.S. Department of Energy’s Reaching a New Energy Sciences Workforce (RENEW) program. This DOE RENEW-funded project is a multi‑institutional program that aims to build the future fusion workforce through mentoring, curriculum development, and innovation bootcamps. IGNITE brings together six academic institutions (Tennessee Tech University, Tennessee State University, Tuskegee University, Southern Adventist University, Missouri University of Science Technology, and University of Tennessee–Knoxville), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) as a research and partnership hub, and 11+ private fusion companies for industry input and collaboration.
