Scholarships for Optics, Photonics, and Imaging Continuing Education Classes
The Center for Emerging and Innovative Sciences at the University of Rochester is pleased to be able to offer scholarships for a series of summer short courses in optics, photonics, and imaging (OPI). The courses are being held during the summer of 2013 at the University of Rochester and RIT. The scholarships are being made available through a grant from the Employee and Training Administration in the US Department of Labor. The ETA grant is part of a multi-agency grant program that promotes advanced manufacturing jobs creation in regions having strong industrial clusters. The Rochester program is the called the Rochester Regional Optics, Photonics, and Imaging Accelerator, or RRPA for short.
The courses are for:
- Displaced workers who would like to work in one of the OPI industries
- People who have jobs outside of the OPI industries but would like to transition into one of them
- People who currently work in an OPI industry and are interested in furthering their career
What you’ll get from these courses:
- Specialized skills in growing industries
- An opportunity to professionally develop with some of the leading minds in the field
- Certificate of completion
