More than 400 students from disciplines including electrical and computer engineering, materials science and physics, and as diverse as business and psychology, attended Semiconductor Day.

The Michigan Economic Development Corporation is working to build awareness of semiconductor career paths in the state. The aim: grow Michigan’s semiconductor industry by as many as 30,000 semiconductor jobs by 2030.

More than 400 students from disciplines including electrical and computer engineering, materials science, physics, and business registered for the inaugural Semiconductor Day at Ohio State University.

EMD Electronics is committed to meeting veterans where they are, and we support their transition from military life to civilian and professional life, providing a sense of community and leveraging their existing skills while helping them build new ones.

SEMI spoke with Anja Maria Muesch and Dr. Philip Matthes at Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany about the challenges and opportunities of generational diversity in the electronics industry workforce.

Alternative career paths are more important today than ever before, particularly in the semiconductor industry, where an aging workforce and a host of new fabs under construction threaten to worsen the existing talent shortage. The industry faces a multifaceted challenge in the coming years– people.

EMD Electronics welcomes dozens of interns into its various business functions nationwide every year. Students from under-graduate and postgraduate programs gain valuable experience in a global science and technology company connecting with colleagues across the world from day one.

Many SEMI members have long looked to the military as a rich source of talent, and many veterans and active reservists have been employed in the microelectronics sector for years. The April 2022 issue of GI Jobs featured an interview with West Point graduate and TEL President Larry Smith.

In this article, several experts weigh in on considerations for developing the smart manufacturing workforce that will help to alleviate the U.S. semiconductor manufacturing talent shortage, even as multiple, data-intensive $1 billion to $10 billion fabrication facilities come online.

Only if we embrace people of all gender identities, generations, ethnicities, educational & industry backgrounds, & sexual orientations, (to name a few demographics) will we stand a chance to fill the talent pipelines needed for the semiconductor industry to seize its outstanding growth prospects.
