Degree program alternatives for fulltime employees
Los Alamos National Laboratory supports and sponsors degree programs for employees in order to help attract and retain the staff required to succeed in its mission. The support for these programs is provided by the Employee and Organization Development Group (HRD-3) which oversees the development, implementation, and delivery. This paper defines successful programs and suggests techniques to achieve a quality product. In order to attract the staff that it needs, the Laboratory has long recognized that educational opportunities must be available to its employees. To meet this need, the University of New Mexico (UNM) Los Alamos Center for Graduate Studies (LACGS) was established in 1956 and represents a unique cooperative venture between the Laboratory and UNM. The LACGS is funded primarily from the Laboratory. Over the years the LACGS has been a primary source of graduate degree programs for Laboratory employees, but until recently most offerings were not systematic or sequential. Nor was there any method to increase the variety of degree options.
