| CNSE and Commerce Technologies Inc. ("CTI") have created a joint workforce development and recruitment program that offers students unique educational and training opportunities at a leading global information technology ("IT") company headquartered at CNSE's Albany NanoTech Complex.
The CNSE-CTI program supports the development and implementation of an advanced education, training and recruitment program for CTI's CommerceHub - the industry's leading provider of integration and fulfillment solutions for multi-channel e-Commerce merchants - which employs approximately 90 professionals at its offices at CNSE's Albany NanoTech Complex, and has increased its workforce by 40 percent since coming to the complex in May of 2004.
Students in the CNSE-CTI program receive paid internships for a variety of research projects at CommerceHub that are designed to enhance software development, integration, prototyping and implementation for a variety of platforms, including drop-ship fulfillment, database and internal systems. The program will also provide education and workforce training that is critical to support the growing number of nanotechnology-enabled IT applications that integrate the design, deployment, utilization and management of emerging computing technologies to enable radio frequency identification devices ("RFID"), global positioning systems ("GPS"), biometrics and other emerging fields.
The program launched at the start of the spring 2009 semester.
