Graduates of the previous fiber optics trainings, broadband industry representatives interested in hosting a recruitment table and individuals seeking broadband career opportunities are encouraged to RSVP for the Broadband Networking/Job Fair at https://bit.ly/bbjobfair25.
The Broadband Networking/Job Fair coincides with the final day of a Fiber Optics Technician training session, where about 30 students in the non-credit Continuing Education and Workforce Development class will be celebrated at a graduation ceremony as they receive their Fiber Optic Certifications.
SFCC Contract Training Department has offered Fiber Optic Technician training/bootcamps since 2022. These generally five-day, hands-on intensive programs give students the opportunity to earn three certifications from the Fiber Optic Association that are recognized throughout the world and aligned to industry standards. These credentials remain valid for three years, after which they can be renewed by students. Students can earn the following certifications: Certified Fiber Optic Technician, Certified Fiber Optic Specialist in Splicing and Certified Fiber Optic Specialist in Training and Maintenance.
Certified fiber optic technicians are needed in the broadband industry because they bring the specialized knowledge, skills, and certifications required to ensure that fiber optic networks are installed, maintained, and repaired to the highest standards. As broadband networks continue to expand and evolve, the demand for certified technicians who can handle these advanced technologies will continue to grow.
