Workforce Training University at Albany's College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering Qualified students at Albany High School now have an unprecedented opportunity to study the emerging field of nanotechnology through NanoHigh, a unique pilot program with the University at Albany's College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering. CNSE also has been assisting community colleges with the development of a new associate's degree in nanotechnology that is articulated with programs at the secondary school level (2 PLUS 2) and with 4-year colleges and universities.
Workforce Training SEMATECH Nanoelectronics Workforce Development Initiative Texas students now have an exciting opportunity to receive valuable hands-on training in one of science and technology's fastest growing fields. The Nanoelectronics Workforce Development Initiative is a multi-year program jointly developed by Austin Community College (ACC), SEMATECH, ATDF, and Texas State Technical College Waco (TSTC) to train technicians and engineers in nanoelectronics.
Workforce Training California Institute of Nanotechnology In partnership with the International Association of Nanotechnology, the California Institute of Nanotechnology has developed workforce training curriculum and now offers professional certificate programs to business executives, professional managers and dislocated workers in nanotechnology.
Workforce Training Oklahoma City Community College Nanotechnology (A.A.S.) is a technical occupation program that requires the successful completion of a minimum of 63 credit hours. Growth in the field of nanotechnology is creating a demand for highly-skilled individuals with knowledge in a broad range of fields which include physics, chemistry, materials science, biology, biochemistry, micro-electro-mechanical systems, and software engineering. This program will provide students with that background and give them experience synthesizing, characterizing, and simulating materials developed and used in a broad range of nanotechnology applications.

Workforce Training NanoEd Resource Portal The NanoEd Resource Portal is a dynamic repository for information dissemination, research and collaborations among the community of nanoscale science and engineering education (NSEE) learners, teachers and researchers. The goal of NanoEd Resource Portal is to build up a comprehensive network and resource sharing to serve the greater NSEE community. The NanoEd Resource Portal will post existing and emerging degree programs in Nanoscale Science and Engineering (NSE) and Nanoscale Science and Engineering (NSEE) education. The program listings will accumulate over time, including 2-year Associate Degrees in NSE(E), Bachelor Degrees with a concentration or minor in NSE(E), 4-year Bachelor Degrees in NSE(E), Master's Degrees in NSE(E), PhD programs in NSE(E), and certificate programs at all levels.
Workforce Training North Dakota State College of Science The Nanoscience Technology associate degree program is a collaborative effort between North Dakota State College of Science and Minnesota State Community and Technical College-Moorhead. Students may enroll and earn a degree through either college. The first two semesters may be taken at the NDSCS campus in Wahpeton or at the MSCTC campus in Moorhead. Many of the classes are also available online. The following summer, fall and spring semesters primarily consist of nanoscience classes taught at the Skills and Technology Training Center in Fargo. The suggested plan of study also includes a summer session that will focus on laboratory instrumentation techniques. The curriculum includes internships during three of the five semesters. Internships will be conducted at various companies in the Red River Valley and surrounding area. Temporary relocation and/or travel to an internship site may be required in certain circumstances. Students must demonstrate subject matter competency and meet established academic standards prior to participating in internships.
Workforce Training Institute of Nanotechnology Skills and Training Survey (September 2007) – the objective of the nanotechnology skills and training survey was to identify the skills gaps and training needs of the workforce in the emerging area of nanoscience and nanotechnology. It also aimed to identify the current and prospective roles of graduates and post-graduates, along with professional development needs. An intended outcome of the survey is to inform education and training Institutions of the gaps and latent needs. The scope of responses in survey has included organizations from industry, government bodies, non-governmental sector and training institutions. The Institute of Nanotechnology is a registered charity (SC025709), created to foster, develop and promote all aspects of science and technology in those domains where dimensions and tolerances in the range of 0.1 nm to 100 nm play a critical role.
