Chandler Unified School District Launches Semiconductor CTE Program to Meet Industry Demand
Chandler Unified School District in Arizona has introduced a new career and technical education (CTE) program focused on semiconductors at Hamilton High School. This initiative aims to prepare students for careers in the semiconductor industry, which is experiencing significant growth in the state. The program, which began this school year, offers students hands-on experience with semiconductor manufacturing processes, typically reserved for college-level education. The district collaborated with local higher education institutions and industry partners to develop the curriculum, which is designed to be flexible and adaptable to industry changes. The program is part of a broader effort to address workforce shortages in the semiconductor sector, fueled by substantial investments in Arizona following the CHIPS Act of 2022.
