Optical Systems Technology Program Graduates Achieve 100% Job Offers

On June 6 and 7, 13WHAM and WHEC covered the growth and achievements of MCC’s Optical Systems Technology program under the leadership of Dr. Alexis Vogt (Engineering Technologies). The segments highlighted how 100 percent of recent program graduates received job offers before graduation and how MCC helps fill the large demand for skilled optics technicians locally and nationally. Approximately 100 students are currently enrolled in the program; 22 students received their associate degrees and 19 earned certificates in 2021-22.

American Center for Optics Manufacturing (Americom) helped secure the media coverage, positioning MCC’s program as a national model.

Our thanks to Dr. Vogt and current student Jaiden Minott for participating in interviews and sharing their excitement about the opportunities available to students through the Optical Systems Technology program.
