Canandaigua – The Smart Systems Technologies program offered by Finger Lakes Community College will organize an event on Tuesday with a panel of guests that plans to treat the transition to high -demand careers in technology.
The event, Coop Ventures XIV: Smart Systems Technology’s “From Strain to Strength: transforming underemployment into high-tech careers”, will be aimed at potential students, in particular adults, who wish to explore their options while they continue to earn a living.
The president of the FLCC, Dr. Robert Nye, will give the opening speech.
Panel industry professionals will include Brett Blizzard from UEC Advanced Circuit Technologies, Andrew Hall of Quality Vision International and Christopher Paulson de Rochester Precisis Optics.
The invited round table will be followed by presentations of student cooperatives.

Thanks to Suny Reconnect, the state will cover tuition fees, costs, books and supplies for adults ready to jump.
