The COVID-19 pandemic caused a surge in demand for electronic devices while disrupting the supply chain, leading to significant semiconductor shortages. Car prices skyrocketed, vehicle production scaled back, and electronic device releases were pushed, all because manufacturers could not produce the chips needed to make consumer electronics. Fortunately, market conditions have improved with the easing of the pandemic and the CHIPS Act. However, a significant talent gap remains. Research shows the U.S. needs over 230,000 new semiconductor workers, but degree completion rates suggest many jobs will go unfilled by 2030. To avoid another crisis, employers and recruiters must get creative in finding semiconductor talent. Swipe to read four tips to fill the talent gap in the semiconductor industry. https://lnkd.in/eFg9qDQn
Then they shouldn't get rid of people learning the process.

1wWorked for Photodigm, was learning how to create semiconductors, cleave semiconductors on an SVT Cleaver, and even doing quality assurance on the Semiconductors I was cleaving. They wanted me to do everything and I was fine with that, after all they themselves said they wanted it to be so easy a fast food worker could do it. Democratic Congressman Colin Allred took a little tour of the place, and two weeks later I was removed from the company because I wasn't learning the process fast enough. But really they wanted to hire people straight out of college in those areas because it looked good for him. I am sick and tired of learning a new skill or trying to do literally anything to have a career in something, only to be stabbed in the back!
