PROFESSIONAL TRAINING CERTIFICATES IN NANOTECHNOLOGY In partnership with the International Association of Nanotechnology, the Institute has received funding by a grant from United States Department of Labor to develop curriculum and provide technical training programs to business executives, professional managers and dislocated workers in nanotechnology. California Nanotechnology Workforce Training Program has been developed to assist: Business executives and professionals: to re-engineer your company’s product development, manufacturing process and expand market positioning. Scientists or engineers: to become an expert and a trainer in advanced nanotechnology technology. Apprentice: qualified candidates are encouraged to apply for the Apprentice Program with paid on-the-job training. Displaced workers with a background in technology: to get new skills for a career in a high growth industry.
