The Greater Knoxville Business Journal this month had a column about how Roane State Community College, along with other academic, research and economic development groups, is proposing a center for nanotechnology workforce development.
The center would recruit and educate skilled workers who could assist the nanotechnology businesses in the Innovation Valley area. These workers would not necessarily need advanced degrees, but rather a knowledge of the processes being run at these companies.
A preliminary proposal for this project is due in April. Nanotechnology touches many businesses by way of everything from computer chips to cosmetics. Because of the wide variety of technologies, the prospects for jobs in this field are diverse.
