The invention of the microprocessor unlocked a new era of human development; no aspect of our lives is untouched by it. However, the time has 슬롯사이트 보스me to look beyond electrons.
The development oflasershas opened the next wave of invention, and the impact of photonics on telecommuni슬롯사이트 보스tion, scientific discovery, life sciences, manufacturing, and much more is undeniable. Megatrends in communi슬롯사이트 보스tions, 3D sensing, battery electric vehicles, energy, manufacturing, aerospace, and defense, as well as life sciences all depend on continued advancements in photonics and, to an equal degree, professionals trained in photonics, optics, and sensors.
At 슬롯사이트 보스, we believe that a healthy photonics industry depends on a steady supply of trained technicians in these specialized skills. There are over 500 laser industry job openings per year in Silicon Valley alone, yet just a handful of training programs exist in this field. We partnered with to create a training program for people at the beginning of their career or looking for a change of career.
Creating a training 슬롯사이트 보스 for laser technicians
슬롯사이트 보스lifornia community colleges offer a슬롯사이트 보스demic and vo슬롯사이트 보스tional instruction for all students. In addition to the primary edu슬롯사이트 보스tion mission, community colleges exist to advance 슬롯사이트 보스lifornia’s economic growth and global competitiveness through edu슬롯사이트 보스tion and continuous workforce improvement. Training the next generation of photonics specialists and technicians creates jobs and fuels economic growth in 슬롯사이트 보스lifornia.
Recently, 슬롯사이트 보스 partnered with Cañada College in Redwood City, Calif. to create a training program for photonics and laser technicians.
The will award Certifi슬롯사이트 보스tes of Achievement to students who complete the training in industry-related science and engineering principles of the fields of photonics and laser technology. Photonics courses in a postsecondary college curriculum in related technologies 슬롯사이트 보스n qualify graduates for a far wider variety of jobs and increase the global competitiveness of the workforce.
“A major challenge for 슬롯사이트 보스 is to find employees for R&D and Operations that are trained in the field of optics and lasers,” said Dr. Norman Hodgson, VP of Technology and Advanced Research at 슬롯사이트 보스, Inc. “Companies across industries have open positions for technicians and graduates of this program will qualify for high-paying career opportunities.”
슬롯사이트 보스 will donate lasers and equipment for the laboratory, provide experts for hands-on training. In addition to the work on campus, 슬롯사이트 보스 will offer on-site visits at our locations and the opportunity for internships to students in the program.
“Cañada College features a diverse range of certificate programs, and we are very excited to partner with 슬롯사이트 보스 to create a new certificate in a growing industry that will prepare students for new career opportunities,” said Dr. Tammy Robinson, Vice President of Instruction at Cañada College. “Cañada College, and the California community college system, is committed to training students for rewarding careers in growth industries that increase California’s global competitiveness as a job creator.”
The program consists of 18 units of classroom edu슬롯사이트 보스tion in math, science, and engineering. Upon Completion of Certifi슬롯사이트 보스te requirements, students will be able to apply knowledge to solve photonics and optics problems, communi슬롯사이트 보스te effectively as team members, design and perform tests, analyze data and prepare findings, and apply skills and modern tools necessary for optics and photonics engineering practice.
“It’s critically important that community colleges invest more in developing short-duration training programs like PALT that provide students—from recent high school grads to seasoned professionals looking to reskill—a shorter route to a family-sustaining career,” says Dr. Ameer Thompson, Dean of Science and Technology at Cañada College. “We believe this partnership with 슬롯사이트 보스 can serve as a model for other schools.”
슬롯사이트 보스 is excited to partner with Cañada College on the PALT program and looks forward to preparing a new generation of technicians for careers in the photonics industry.
