Bridge to Employment in Service and Tourism (B.E.S.T.) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory provides job exploration, pre-employment training, job skills development, and professional mentorship to adults with disabilities and barriers to employment. Sessions occur 3 times a year.
Interns participate in 16-week internship, three or five days a week at ORNL. Each day, interns receive at least 2 hours of learning lab instruction on vocational, social, and independent living skills and 5 hours of work-based learning as an intern at a site at the laboratory or other community partner.
If you’re interested in being a host site for a B.E.S.T. class of interns, download the manual on the left and email instructor@bestknoxville.org.
