Abstract
The Optics, Photonics, and Imaging industry is responsible for remarkable innovations that have revolutionized our world—and improve our lives, every single day. The industry is growing at an exponential rate and is suffering from a worldwide shortage of skilled optics technicians. For several decades, our society and education system have emphasized the value of a 4-year college education at the expense of workforce education, and our nation is suffering because of it. The registered Optics Manufacturing Technician apprenticeship is a structured “earn and learn” solution that combines on-the-job learning with related technical instruction, with benefits for employer and employee.
