![]() “A skilled and diverse pipeline of workers is crucial to support plans for building semiconductor industry capacity globally.” -Jamie Moesch, IEEE Educational Activities managing director. ![]() IEEE Educational Activities staff and the organization’s semiconductor experts are developing content for use in classrooms, as well as support for teachers. The project also includes on-site professional development for teachers in the Phoenix area, plus lesson-plan materials, including video-supported classroom activities. The Giving Now grant will fund the creation of video-based professional development courses to help educators teach middle-school students about semiconductors and the industry, officials say. That’s why onsemi and IEEE recognize the importance of introducing students to the industry. There is a projected shortage of nearly 67,000 workers in the semiconductor industry by 2030, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association. CHIPS and Science Act highlighted a gap in the workforce pipeline. IEEE TryEngineering Increasing the semiconductor workforce pipeline Thanks to the grant from the ON Semiconductor Foundation, students will learn how semiconductors are made through hands-on activities. “On behalf of the Foundation, we’re proud to support the work of the IEEE Foundation and IEEE TryEngineering as we work toward making the world better together.” “Through our Giving Now program, onsemi is driving positivity forward by creating meaningful change for our planet and every community that we live and work in around the globe,” says Tyler Lacey, board president for the ON Semiconductor Foundation. The company is a leading semiconductor manufacturer serving tens of thousands of customers across several markets with intelligent power and sensing technologies. Onsemi, headquartered in Scottsdale, Ariz., funds STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) educational activities for underprivileged youth in underserved communities where they operate globally. ![]() The preuniversity outreach program is overseen by IEEE Educational Activities. The ON Semiconductor Foundation, an onsemi Giving Now program, recently awarded the IEEE Foundation a two-year grant totaling US $137,125 for IEEE TryEngineering to develop content about semiconductor technology for middle school students and their teachers. ![]()
