The current goal is for the Nanotechnology Development Workforce Initiative project to play a significant role in supplying the workforce necessary to create and deploy the new class of services and products being created by the nanotechnology industry. This is achieved through rigorous state-of-the-art training at TSTC Waco, Baylor University's CASPER lab, Zyvex Corporation, and Sematech, as well as an innovative comprehensive curriculum and resources made available to teachers and students through
this website, and hands-on internships at leading Texas nanotechnology companies.

The long-term is goal is to engage the state's 51 community colleges, establishing partnerships and career tracks for their students and graduates, as well as opportunities to include nanotechnology courses in their curricula.

The expectation is for this program to serve as a model for these community colleges and other nanotechnology companies to develop partnerships to produce the best nanotechnology workers here in Texas, thus giving employers a key competitive advantage against companies located throughout the world.
