Clarion University's Venango Campus is piloting a NanoManufacturing concentration within its Industrial Technology 2-year associates in applied science degree (AAS-IT), which provides workforce proficiency in nanotechnology. The students receive an AAS in Industrial Technology and a NanoFabrication Manufacturing Technology (NMT) certificate from Penn State University. The NanoManufacturing concentration within the AAS-IT requires the core math and science courses of 4-year science degrees, an immersion semester at Penn State University's Nanofabrication Center and a practical capstone offered as a NanoManufacturing course. The NanoManufacturing capstone course is a hands-on lecture and laboratory course that provides fundamental skills necessary to work in a nanotechnology production environment and to prepare the students for the immersion semester. The course discusses theoretical concepts behind research, development, production, and processing of nano-scaled materials. The course is conducted within the Center for Applied Research & Intellectual Property Development in order to expose the students to local industries. The courses at Penn State University are offered through the ATE National Center NACK. The project is providing an increased educational foundation for technicians to keep up with the rapid development in the current and emerging industrial fields. The project has outreach to regional K-12 schools, teachers, displaced workers, veterans, and has established a regional industry advisory board.

Clarion University的Venango校区正在其工业技术2年制应用科学学位（AAS-IT）中试行纳米制造集中，该学位提供了纳米技术的劳动力熟练程度。学生将获得宾夕法尼亚州立大学的工业技术AAS和纳米制造技术（NMT）证书。AAS-IT内的NanoManufacturing浓度需要4年制科学学位的核心数学和科学课程，在宾夕法尼亚州立大学的Nanofabetting中心的沉浸式学期和作为NanoManufacturing课程提供的实用顶点。NanoManufacturing顶点课程是一门实践性的讲座和实验室课程，提供在纳米技术生产环境中工作所需的基本技能，并为学生准备沉浸式学期。该课程讨论了纳米材料的研究，开发，生产和加工背后的理论概念。该课程在应用研究知识产权发展中心进行，以使学生接触当地行业。宾夕法尼亚州立大学的课程由ATE国家中心NACK提供。该项目为技术人员提供了更好的教育基础，以跟上当前和新兴工业领域的快速发展。该项目已推广到区域K-12学校，教师，流离失所的工人，退伍军人，并建立了一个区域工业咨询委员会。
