Workforce Development

Delivering on the national security and economic objectives of the CHIPS and Science Act demands major investments in the semiconductor workforce. Aligned with the strategic pillars outlined in America’s Talent Strategy: Equipping American Workers for the Golden Age (a deliverable of Executive Order 14278: Preparing Americans for High Paying Skilled Trade Jobs of the Future), workforce development is a priority across both the CHIPS Incentives and Research and Development programs.
