In partnership with the California Institute of Nanotechnology and Clean Tech Institute, the International Association of Nanotechnology is offering a number of intensive training programs to business executives, professional managers and dislocated workers for the emerging and high growth industries.

The 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.

These high tech professional development training workshops are taught by a world-class faculty consisting of professors from Stanford University, NASA, California Institute of Nanotechnology and other leading organizations and industry partners.
