Certified Nanotech and
Clean Tech Professional
According to the U.S. government agencies,
nanotechnology alone will be a trillion dollar business
by the year 2015, and about 1 million employees will be
required in U.S. alone. Clean technology, which has
become a major application of nanotechnology, had a
revenue growth from 55 billion in 2006 to 77.3 billion
in 2007, a 40% annual increase. The time to enter this
growing industry is now, and the CNCP certification
program is designed to equip you with relevant knowledge
and practical experience to be successful in the
emerging industries.
This
intensive program is designed to train the participants
for entry level jobs with an opportunity for advancement
in the high growth industries of nanotechnology and
clean technology.
