Imagine... the power of the sun, here on Earth. Fusion is the process that powers the sun and the stars, releasing vast amounts of energy that makes all life on Earth possible. When we bring the process of that power to Earth, it will bring about an age of safe, clean, and unlimited energy that will transform our planet. How? By confining hot plasma created by heating hydrogen atoms, our scientists want to create an artificial star to produce energy that can be converted into electricity, available to all humankind, virtually forever!

About Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory

Our program is the first-in-the-nation registered apprenticeship program in fusion energy and engineering. It is designed to equip the next generation of technicians with the skills necessary to help build and operate a fusion energy experiment.

A PPPL Apprenticeship is an industry-driven, high-quality career pathway for high school graduates, veterans, and others looking to join this exciting endeavor. The only requirements are you must be at least 18 years old and have a high school diploma or equivalent by the start of the program. The program takes at least four years to complete and it leads to a portable, nationally-recognized credential and a possible career at our national laboratory.

Join us as we lead the nation and world on the road to clean energy by becoming a PPPL apprentice!
