[labnetwork] CHIPS Act - Update

[Aebersold,Julia W.]

Looks like the Senate could potentially taking up the CHIPS Act very soon for a vote.

Hello everyone.  Just a few tidbits to update about the CHIPS Act.  The semiconductor industry and the Dept of Commerce are putting pressure on Congress to come to pass the legislation before they recess in August.

It appears that the American Semiconductor Academy is one of the initiatives driving workforce development and has published a white paper.

Subject: CHIPS Act

A quick question for everyone regarding the CHIPS Act that has yet to pass in both the House and Senate.  I believe a lot of us feel this will directly impact our facilities due to workforce development needed to support this initiative and there is also real fear of talent poaching.

Last week at the UGIM conference we started to have initial discussions about the CHIPS ACT, but no formal discussions.  The Labnetwork community and the NNCI network are positioned to be instrumental with this effort (I think), but wanted to ask the following for I'm kind of wondering what is going on.  Another thought is that it's just too early at this time since CHIPS has not been approved by Congress yet.

  1.  Have you been following the CHIPS Act?
  2.  Has anyone from your institution or state began conversations with NIST or industry regarding this effort?
  3.  Do you feel you have adequate programs and training in place to help cultivate the future demand needed for semiconductor engineers?
Any other nuggets of info would be appreciated.


Cheers!
