SEMI is the major industry association for the microelectronics industry. It represents over 3,000 high-tech businesses focused on creating a broad range of electronic products that we use and depend on every day. Microelectronics are the tiny computers and silicon chips (also known as semiconductors) found in ubiquitous items like phones, watches, cars, laptops, really any piece of electronic equipment you can think of. The semiconductor is essentially the brain of the device.
One of SEMI’s goals is to help electronics manufacturers and businesses develop the next generation of talent. Demand for microelectronics is massive, which means the industry offers numerous career opportunities for young people. The key is to help a new generation of talent learn about these many and varied careers, and to put young jobseekers in touch with the resources they can use to get a meaningful start.
Investments in the domestic production of microelectronics have grown tremendously over the past few years, indicating that many businesses in this sector are in dire need of talent of almost every conceivable type: engineering, production, construction, distribution, business operations, and more. Every major industry sector you can think of—from tech to communications to healthcare to the military to transportation to energy to manufacturing—needs LOTS of microelectronics.
Many of these businesses also realize that today’s junior high, high school, and college students are not aware of either the high demand for new talent or the varied and interesting types of work within the industry. So they are working hard to get in front of young people and raise awareness of these jobs.To get started, check out SEMI’s career site. There you will find:
