The October newsletter is a reminder to industry seeking technicians with laser-photonics and opto-electronics skills that a new batch of graduates will be available for hiring in December 2020 – the end of this semester.

Our OPCN partner colleges would be delighted to host your recruiters or employment representatives on their campuses or virtually. This is the time to contact the program managers and make arrangements for a visit and recruiting event at the college of your choice before the end of the fall 2020 semester.
For a complete list of the contact persons and college information, please visit this webpage.

This issue includes an article on pulse oximeters reminding us that laser-photonics is an important technology in the fight against COVID-19.

LASER-TEC has mailed out nearly 200 free Light and Optics Experiment Kits to students studying at home due to the pandemic. One student at Indian River State College who comes from Curaçao (Lesser Antilles island) sent us a video message you can watch by clicking here.

Our online, self-paced, laser-photonics courses for technologists are up and running. They are suitable for working technicians, marketing managers who need technical upskilling, or educators who need to add laser-photonics to their program offerings. For more information, visit our courses page.

All the Best,
