President and CEO SkyWater Technology Bloomington, MN, United States
The semiconductor manufacturing industry is experiencing unprecedented growth, driven by the CHIPS legislation and the increasing demand for advanced technologies. This expansion will result in a surge of new fabs being constructed, creating a significant demand for skilled workers. By 2030, an estimated 250,000 new workers will be required to support this flourishing industry.
To address this workforce shortage and ensure a sustainable talent pipeline, companies must embrace a comprehensive range of workforce development initiatives. In this presentation, SkyWater CEO Thomas Sonderman will discuss the urgency of workforce development efforts to bridge the gap between the demand for skilled workers and the available talent pool. He will also highlight an innovative program being piloted at our SkyWater Florida facility.
