Project Self-Sufficiency will offer a training program to qualified candidates who wish to become Certified Fiber Optics Technicians, Tuesdays - Fridays, October 18th – 28th, from 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. Participants will learn theory and receive hands-on training covering the basics of fiber optics, the different types of fiber and cables, information transmission and fiber optic LAN, sources of light loss in fiber, specifications for fiber optic cable, types of connectors, and more. Training will be provided by a representative from Educational Resources, Inc., a company which specializes in workplace training in the fields of customer service, sales and various technical fields including fiber optics.
“This is a program that introduces people to the world of fiber which is all around us and is an important technology which will continue to grow as the economy recovers,” noted Charles Wortmann, President of Educational Resources, Inc. “The Department of Labor has recognized this as a growing area for our economy. More and more fiber is being placed into homes and office buildings, because fiber offers high-speed access to data and telecommunication. Certification as a fiber optics technician demonstrates that a candidate has value to a company. When these people do get jobs as fiber optics technicians, they are good-paying jobs.”
Project Self-Sufficiency will host a free Information Session about the Fiber Optics Training Program on Thursday, October 6th, at 10:00 a.m. The Information Session is free and open to the public; registration is required. To register, or to find out more about the training program to become a Certified Fiber Optics Technician, call Project Self-Sufficiency at 973-940-3500.
