Mapping Workforce Initiatives for Semiconductors with the Arizona Commerce Authority
August 30, 2024In July 2024, CREC wrapped up partnering with SRI to identify and map semiconductor education and training assets for the Workforce Subgroup of the Semiconductor Task Force at the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA). ACA is using the information to engage companies in the semiconductor supply chain to motivate continued foreign direct investment (FDI) based on its ability to respond to the talent needs of this critical US industry.
For context: The ACA focuses on recruiting quality companies and jobs for Arizona as well as the expansion of companies already there. ACA is a quasi-governmental public-private collaboration serving in the role as the state’s Commerce agency.
