Folks,
I appreciate all the folksthat have sent me ideas for job leads for our many friends affected in the recent resource action. .. Here are a few things I have herd about,
- UVM smart grid PhD: UVM has several openings in their smart grid PhD program (http://www.uvm.edu/~cems/igert/) (need to be citizens or green card holders).
- K-12 Teaching: there is a local Teacher Apprenticeship Program (TAP), an 8 month program to prepare professionals from other careers to enter a 7-12 classroom. They have an excellent track record of preparing and placing transitioning professionals in Vermont schools. Their upcoming class is close to full, but it’s something to consider. TAP has been based at Chittenden Central SU for the past 10 years but is moving to Champlain College on July 1. One advantage of that is that applicants will have access to federal loans to help with the tuition costs ($10,900 most recently).
- Mywebgrocer an excellent locally grown who does online shopping analytics had 17 positions open as of last week. I suspect that they’re goign fast.
- UTAS in Vergennes s lookign for an RF engineer The description is “Specific responsibilities include antenna design, wireless component evaluation and selection, RF circuit design, signal propagation characterization, link budget analysis, spectrum sharing and coexistence analyses. Good sense of practical implementation of RF systems and board-level design skills are essential. An ability to quickly prototype, test and modify new solutions is highly desired.” There are also several links here.
- Dealer.Com I’ve heard second had that they have soem positions open.. but have not verified
Also.. just found these in the Tech Jam News from Seven Days
- Senior Technical Lead, Greensea Systems
- Project Manager, Vermont Department of Information and Innovation
- Network Operations Supervisor, Burlington Telecom
- Paid internships, Vermont Technology Council
Hope its helpful to share…
