3 GRADUATE RELIABILITY TRAINING PROGRAM Program Description This program is intended for recent college graduates (undergraduate or graduate) who desire a career in the energy field, specifically the analysis of the reliability of the bulk electric transmission and generation system. The program is a total of two years with a rotation among the ReliabilityFirst functional areas, including a three to six month assignment in each area. The graduate trainee, a full time permanent position, will be assigned a mentor throughout the program, who will help with career growth and provide performance coaching. At the end of the program, the trainee will be assigned to one of the departments listed below at ReliabilityFirst. The program begins with an intensified initial period during which a blend of formal training and structured hands-on experiences (in concert with subject matter experts) will form the foundational knowledge base for the entry level person in the field of System Reliability, specifically in the field of Power Systems. More emphasis is focused on depth in Systems Reliability in the beginning moving to breadth in the Systems Engineering near the end, but no solid dividing line in time is required. The program will provide a solid foundation that allows for an exponential growth in individual contributions, especially in the later years. Requirements for Entry into the Program Recent undergraduate degree (master s degree a plus) in an engineering, science, technology, or mathematics field. Willing to travel approximately 10% Willing to shadow a mentor locally or remotely Willing to document the knowledge gained in the program Goals of the Program The overall objective of this program is to create a comprehensive entry level and career path by blending targeted training with a structured exposure to on-the-job experiences within a contextual framework through which knowledge extraction from existing subject matter experts is both accelerated and meaningful with the end result being a growing of our own talent to augment a traditional utility-centric staff with broader Systems Engineering professionals. Some of the aspects of the program include: 1. A program that is interesting to the recent graduate, promoting a lifelong learning process in a positive field of study. 2. Provides participants a path forward to grow into future roles of increasing responsibility at ReliabilityFirst while accelerating productivity and individual contribution thus allowing for a quicker return on investment for the Graduate Program. 3. Establishment of a structured training and work experience program for the first two years, which will serve as a springboard to broaden the knowledge gain throughout the participant s career. 4. Ensures the participant gains career insurance by providing transportable Systems Engineering skills. 5. Establishment of an environment where the participant proactively pursues the requisite knowledge and experience under the guidance of a stable in-house career mentor and coach. 6. Encourages, facilitates, accelerates and memorializes knowledge transfer from the most experienced staff member 1
