As a result of the continual shift within the lighting industry from the use of traditional lighting materials and techniques towards the use of semiconductor light-emitting diode (LED) based sources, lighting manufacturers and their complementary industries are currently facing a very severe recruitment challenge. Ensuring that workers are properly trained and proficient with this highly developed technology is an important issue that needs direct attention. There is a very high demand for professionals with an understanding of semiconductor light sources who possess the skills to perform radiometric and photometric standards of testing that are unique to these sources. As the only institution in Canada providing training for photonics engineering technicians and technologists, Niagara College is uniquely positioned to fill this void. Niagara College's photonics graduates already have a strong background in laser, vacuum and fibre optic technologies. By adding a
