The PET Project (Photonics Education and Training) is a shared project of Photonics Research Ontario, Niagara College and Algonquin College.

Designed to provide skilled personnel to the rapidly growing photonics industry, PET will position Ontario to be competitive in the emerging multi-trillion dollar global photonics industry.

Working with the photonics industry and specialized sectoral clusters, PET has developed an educational model and career pathway for the photonics sector of special interest to high school students and other people in a technical and science career field.

Niagara College and Algonquin College will deliver specialized photonics training at the technician and technologist level, beginning in September 2001. The colleges will also provide customized training in photonics as requested by individual industries.

The PET Project is made possible by the generous support of The Strategic Skills Investment Initiative of the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, and of industry partners.
