Intel discovered that barriers to entry into a technical two-year program can include financial circumstances and confidence in one’s math and science abilities

To solve this, community colleges in Ohio, led by Columbus State Community College, developed the first industry-wide, one-year semiconductor technician certificate program that is stackable, transferable, and shareable

The program will begin in 2023–2024 to aid in creating a talent pipeline
