Ohio State University trains students to address semiconductor workforce shortage.

The Ohio State University is taking proactive steps to address the shortage of skilled workers in the semiconductor industry by preparing students to fill the gap. With the passage of the CHIPS and Science Act, which has poured nearly $280 billion into U.S. semiconductor projects, thousands of new jobs are expected in the field of semiconductor manufacturing. However, experts have expressed concerns about the availability of a qualified workforce to fill jobs within the industry. To address these challenges, Ohio State is spearheading efforts to establish partnerships between research universities, community colleges, and grade schools to create pathways for students to join the semiconductor workforce.
