As California advances its leadership in microelectronics and advanced manufacturing, SEMI Foundation is driving economic growth by building industry-aligned, earn-and-learn pathways. Through its California programs funded by state and private dollars, the SEMI Foundation addresses urgent talent shortages in the semiconductor sector, expanding access to high-quality manufacturing roles and piloting pathways into non-manufacturing semiconductor roles. Anchored in regional collaboration and aligned with the state’s Jobs First Economic Blueprint, SEMI Foundation brings deep employer partnerships, leadership in workforce development, and a vision to grow equitable opportunity across California’s innovation economy.
