This study provides a comprehensive and up-to-date portrait of the skills desired by the Canadian photonics industry. To accomplish this, we investigate Canadian job postings on popular employment websites in the fields of optics and photonics to characterize clusters of skills in high demand. We supplement this investigation with an analysis of responses to a questionnaire distributed to over 300 companies with Canadian operations. We present the resulting information in a manner to support evidence-based policy decisions, such as recommendations for improvements to educational programs to better meet the training needs conveyed by the Canadian photonics industry.
ePIXfab-The European Silicon Photonics Support Center continues to provide state-of-the-art silicon photonics solutions to academia and industry for prototyping and research. ePIXfab is a consortium of EU research centers providing diverse expertise in the silicon photonics food chain, from training users in designing silicon photonics chips to fiber pigtailed chips. While ePIXfab provides world-wide users access to advanced silicon photonics it also focuses its attention to expanding the silicon photonics infrastructure through a network of design houses, access partners and industrial collaborations.
