AMERICAN CENTER FOR OPTICS MANUFACTURING

Recognizing a critical shortage in skilled technicians, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) selected AmeriCOM to significantly build and sustain America's Precision Optics manufacturing base. Working in tandem with industrial, academic, nonprofit, and government partners, AmeriCOM is leveraging American ingenuity to forge new paths of prosperity and security... For every one engineer focused on manufacturing innovation, 10 technicians are needed to bring the innovation to market. For this reason, AmeriCOM is focused on enabling the training of 800 new Optics technicians a year through 2025... AmeriCOM's mission provides an economic lift to communities. Secure, Optics jobs are a pathway to prosperity for individuals and their families too often underrepresented among skilled technicians in the U.S. manufacturing industries.
