OPEN Newsletter - January 2021

1/14/2021

 
We start the new year with optimism and the hope that 2020 and its challenges will soon be forgotten.
 
In this issue of our newsletter, you can read about:
 
  1. The Laser-Photonics industry is off to a great start for 2021. Companies are expanding their operations, and all US Photonics Clusters are as strong as ever.
  2. Despite the increased output of photonics technicians by all OPCN colleges, the workforce demand is higher than the supply. It is a great time for young people to enter our specialized field that serves advanced technological companies. Listen to the podcast from “All Things Photonics” and invite anyone looking for a profitable career to start learning at any one of our 44 LASER-TEC affiliated colleges.
  3. LASER-TEC is offering tuition-free online Laser-Photonics courses for people who lost their jobs due to COVID-19, active military, veterans and immediate family members, and educators.
  4. Photonics Spectra 2021 online Conference, January 19-22.
  5. How you can help your students with career preparedness and job search.
  6. Learn about the basics of patents during a free webinar hosted by the Florida Photonics Cluster on January 21.
  7. Free Nanomanufacturing Certificate program for active military and immediate family members.
  8. LASER-TEC educational resources
  9. Photonics program at Indian River State College, Fort Pierce, Florida.
 
Wishing you a great start to this new year,
 
Chrys Panayiotou
