MODESTO, Calif. - Californer -- The Sukuta Foundation, Inc.: FREE Virtual Laser Career Expo, April 26, 2024, 11:00am.

While there is already a big push to get students of color into sciences and laser academic studies, there is extraordinarily little being done to direct them to "bankable" laser careers thereafter. We are here to fulfill that niche! Black and Hispanic Americans, (Veterans, Women, and Girls) have been denied access to fair education, capital, and economic opportunity.

We commend your commitment to investments in education programs, training, and mentoring and supporting small business owners from local communities, to help set up fair solutions to closing the income gap, alleviating historical barriers, and providing sustainable pandemic relief.

Introducing, The Sukuta Foundation, a 501c3 recognized organization, inspired by the many "born again" students our founder, Sydney Sukuta Ph.D., taught and managed to rebrand as employable laser electro-optics technicians in Silicon Valley and beyond.
