The project is developing and implementing a Nanotechnology Technician Education degree program by adapting existing curricula and developing new curricula. The program is a third degree track in the college's Advanced Manufacturing Technology degree program (the other two tracks are Manufacturing Engineering Technology and Polymer Manufacturing Technology). The new degree option is strongly supported by regional organizations and industry. The 42 project partners include 29 industry partners who are supporting curriculum development and/or are providing internship and employment opportunities for students. In addition to developing new curricula for this program, the college is adapting elements of a nanotechnology undergraduate program developed by project partner University of Virginia, which is also providing training equipment and curriculum development support. The primary audience for the new program is graduating high school seniors, as well as local adult workers who are seeking career re-training due to loss of a great number of the region's traditional jobs in textiles manufacturing and tobacco. The Nanotechnology Education degree program is being managed by Danville Community College's Workforce Services and housed in its Regional Center for Advanced Technology and Training, a new 24,000-square-foot high-tech facility designed to support high-level scientific training programs such as nanotechnology education.

该项目正在通过调整现有课程和开发新课程来开发和实施纳米技术技术人员教育学位课程。该课程是学院先进制造技术学位课程的第三个学位课程（另外两个课程是制造工程技术和聚合物制造技术）。新的学位选择得到了地区组织和行业的大力支持。42个项目合作伙伴包括29个行业合作伙伴，他们支持课程开发和/或为学生提供实习和就业机会。除了为该项目开发新课程外，该学院还采用了项目合作伙伴弗吉尼亚大学开发的纳米技术本科课程的元素，弗吉尼亚大学也提供培训设备和课程开发支持。这个新项目的主要受众是即将毕业的高中毕业生，以及当地的成年工人，他们正在寻求职业再培训，因为该地区纺织业和烟草业的传统工作岗位大量流失。纳米技术教育学位课程由丹维尔社区学院的劳动力服务部门管理，并设在其先进技术和培训区域中心，这是一个新的24000平方英尺的高科技设施，旨在支持纳米技术教育等高水平科学培训项目。
