International Association of Nanotechnology is a non-profit professional Association with the goal of providing advanced education and training in the emerging fields of nanotechnology and clean technology worldwide for the benefit of society. The Association has been recently awarded the President's High Growth Job Training Initiative Grant in the amount of $1.5 million under the auspices of the US Department of Labor to set up the California Institute of Nanotechnology Training Center in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area. A portion of the grant can be used to develop nanotechnology workforce training programs, as envisioned in the scope of The Consortium.

The Consortium is a partnership that includes the Association, California Institute of Nanotechnology and the Clean Tech Institute. The Consortium' activities will include: developing a highly-skilled talent pool and education pipeline (K-16); providing workforce training in Nano-Bio-Clean Tech industry; leveraging the California Institute of Nanotechnology, as established through the President's High Growth Job Training Initiative, for purposes of creating a Nano-Bio-Clean Tech (NBC) Advanced Manufacturing Training Center in San Jose; developing and implementing an outreach campaign to teach and accelerate talent development in middle schools, high schools and colleges and universities to promote math, science and engineering education including expansion of STEM educational opportunities for sixth- to twelve graders; organizing seminars and workshops to outreach and find jobs for dislocated workers to participate in high growth and high wage industries; developing a state-of-the-art on-line distance learning program with remote control capability to empower instructors to control sophisticated instruments located at a research center to facilitate teaching of advanced manufacturing courses in remote locations; organizing outreach programs to universities, research institutes and private companies in California to foster research and development dedicated to harnessing revolutionary developments in nanotechnology to find breakthroughs that will provide new energy solutions, particularly focusing on renewable fuels to minimize global warming; and developing and implementing workforce training programs.
