Mission and Vision
The mission of the SEMI Foundation is to support economic opportunity for workers and the sustained growth of the microelectronics industry.
We accomplish this through creating pathways and opportunities for job seekers, and tools and systems for semiconductor companies to attract, develop, retain, and advance a diverse and skilled workforce.
Our vision is a thriving microelectronics industry with a highly diverse, skilled workforce in all levels of leadership and management. We accomplish this by:
- Advocating for more equity, diversity, and inclusion in the workplace
- Supporting science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs for students of all ages
- Supporting pathways for underrepresented people to enter the industry
- Advocating for robust workforce development funding, policies, and programs - regionally, nationally, and globally
- Connecting employers, training providers, worker representatives, and communities to solve workforce challenges and support economic equity
"CHIP IN"
The SEMI Foundation proudly supported Roadtrip Nation to create "CHIP In!", a new documentary airing on PBS in April about people and careers in microelectronics. Follow three young people as they explore the huge, future-focused, and exciting world of the chip industry. The full documentary is available online now for viewing.
