Iowa ACTE Best Practices Conference 2021

Indian Hills Community College's Rural Iowa Photonics Education NSF project has the primary objective of increasing the number of Photonics Techs in the U.S.  This session will introduce lasers & optics to you and, hopefully, your students.  Content will include light, lasers, optics, safety, applications, career opportunities, etc.

The Laser & Optics Technicians demand is 10 times the supply.  The U.S. needs these techs.  A Photonics Fundamentals dual credit course was created for secondary school classes.  It has both virtual and live elements.  You can do it!

Each year we graduate students who may be unprepared for the dramatic changes they will face as they enter the workforce. The decisions they make about which college, program, or training option is best for them can be greatly impacted by ensuring they have the most current information about the labor market, career opportunities, and the training that will help them to live their best lives. Learn critical statistics and labor market information that can impact our students and families today.
Receive access to the presentation, reports, and additional resources to help your students and families know where some of the greatest opportunities lie in the future.
Evaluate how your career program/pathway aligns with high demand areas in our state and across the nation.
