EPISODE DESCRIPTION

The semiconductor industry is scaling faster than the workforce can keep up. In this episode of Semiconductor Engineering Daily: A Workforce Development B2B Podcast, we break down the widening skills gap across fabs, labs, advanced packaging, and equipment engineering — and what companies are doing to close it.

We explore why talent shortages persist despite CHIPS Act funding, how cleanroom technician pipelines are evolving, and why AI‑assisted training, simulation labs, and competency‑based certifications are becoming essential for next‑generation chip manufacturing.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• The root causes of the semiconductor skills gap
• Which roles fabs and labs struggle most to hire
• How companies are accel ...
