SUNY-ESF Leads National Initiative to Provide Workforce Training in Radiation Curing
SYRACUSE, NY - According to recent statistics from the New York State Department of Labor, a workforce shortage in radiation curing exists in New York State despite the fact that nearly 1,000 chemists with bachelor's degrees were seeking employment in the state. The Radiation Curing Program (RCP) at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF) aims to address this disconnect by providing specific job skills for individuals seeking careers in related fields, practicing industry professionals, upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, and recent graduates.
The new online program offered through SUNY-ESF will provide specialized training to address workforce shortages in the field of radiation curing, also known as energy curing. The RCP is a response to nationwide demand for training and education related to this growing technology.
