PATHWAY CONNECTION

Sussex County Community College (SCCC) hosted a myriad of outreach events including open houses, tours of the campus, and information sessions.  These events have provided SCCC the opportunity to present to prospective students and community members an industry overview of, and career opportunities in, Optics Technology.  

In December 2022, the Optics Technology Program was visited by 12 members of the Technical and Vocational Education Division of New Taipei City who are very interesting in forming an educational partnership with SCCC.   

Additionally, SCCC have been visited by many new industry partners including Satisloh, Taylor-Hobson, Zygo, and Optikos. Each of these companies have been added to the SCCC Optics Technology Advisory Board and provide invaluable insight towards the development of curriculum, topics of focus, and future outreach possibilities. 

SCCC has also partnered with the American Center for Optics Manufacturing (AmeriCOM) for the development of optics outreach materials. These efforts are currently ongoing.
