This Project Grant award of $500,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to serve the national interest by launching a workforce development initiative to expand access to high-skilled careers in semiconductors and advanced manufacturing. Led by Stony Brook University in collaboration with Brookhaven National Laboratory, SUNY community colleges, and industry partners, the initiative addresses the critical national need for a technically prepared workforce. The project offers two structured training tracks - Explorer (3-month traineeships) and Developer (1-year traineeships) - that combine technical training and professional development to support career readiness. Participants will gain practical skills and qualifications, such as experience working in cleanroom environments, that are essential for technician and engineering roles in areas like mechatronics, maintenance, and chemical/material synthesis. The project supports U.S. technological and economic leadership by strengthening the domestic workforce in advanced manufacturing and other strategic emerging technologies.
