OP-TEC is a strong supporter of the FPC and our efforts to develop technician training programs. Since OP-TEC is serving as an Executive Producer of this year’s High Impact Technology Exchange Conference (HI-TEC), scheduled for July 19-22, 2009, at the Fairmont Scottsdale Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona, the FPC is helping publicize the event.
HI-TEC offers a wealth of practical information to help technicians further develop their knowledge, skills, and abilities, while providing valuable networking opportunities. HI-TEC workshops allow technicians to gain hands-on experience with current and emerging technologies, while conference sessions and keynotes provide an up-close look at the ever-advancing tools, training demands, and recent developments in emerging and converging technology fields.
OP-TEC will be hosting a pre-conference workshop and conference session and will be exhibiting in the Technology Showcase. OP-TEC’s pre-conference workshop, Enhancing Technician Employment Opportunities in Photonics-Enabled Technologies, will describe photonics, the technical fields enabled by photonics and the curricula and courses needed for employment in these high-demand areas. Photonics retraining programs and courses for technicians employed in other fields will also be described. OP-TEC will also be participating in two renewable energy sessions - Technician Roles in Renewable Energy Fields and Technician Roles in Energy Conservation.
HI-TEC also explores emerging and converging fields including: advanced manufacturing; agricultural and environmental; biotechnology and chemical; engineering; information and security; learning and evaluation; micro- and nanotechnologies; and, optics and photonics!
