SEMI brings students to our annual industry events —SEMICONs—to see demonstrations, attend programs, and interact with exhibitors and hiring managers.
During the day, students explore career opportunities in semiconductor manufacturing and learn more about the industry. Presenters also provide insights on what it takes to build a career in the industry.

08SEMI is strongly committed to our members’ success in building a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable workforce and global industry.
Addressing the lack of diversity requires a collaborative effort and an understanding that each company is unique.
Through a series of new programs and initiatives focused on veteran internships, manufacturing ownership, crucial conversations, racial disparities, and women’s advancement, SEMI is working collectively to make the systemic changes necessary to create the inclusive workforce we need.

SEMI VetWorks
10The SEMI MOD program showcases inclusive business sourcing strategies and the advantages of partnering with diverse-owned businesses in our procurement and supply chains.
We help these businesses understand the process and requirements for being identified and certified and we connect our member companies to these businesses.
Manufacturing Ownership Diversity
11Members have asked SEMI to start collecting and providing information on the best ways to communicate information on social justice to their workforces.
As a starting point, SEMI has recently created an online library of materials that will enhance our members’ understanding and approach to crucial conversations surrounding race, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, ability, and other identifiers.
Crucial Conversations
12This program recognizes and celebrates the many accomplished women who work in our industry.
Our industry welcomes, includes, honors, and promotes women and the Spotlight on SEMI Women program showcases these leaders and shares their stories.
