Our industry cannot flourish with an empty talent pool. Explore imec’s initiatives towards formal and on-the-job training for a range of careers in semiconductors.
The semiconductor industry talks a lot about tools, materials and processes. But it ultimately thrives on people. People who deliver scientific breakthroughs, provide designs, take care of manufacturing and testing processes, and much more.
Predictions state that the semiconductor industry will need one million additional skilled workers by 2030. That formidable challenge can only be met through a concerted effort by many actors within and outside the ecosystem, targeted at all types and levels of education.
Tackling the talent shortage for European deep tech: a matter of alignment, outreach, and persistence
As a central knowledge hub in the semiconductor network, imec makes a vital contribution to this endeavor. Both directly and through our partners, we take and support initiatives that drive more talent to our industry and optimize the skill level of those already active in it.
Imec also takes part in funded projects focused on tackling the talent shortage in the semiconductor industry, such as the European Chips Skills Academy (ECS Academy). The ECS Academy consortium will offer curricula, training content, courses, internships and a summer school covering key topics in microelectronics.
