Semiconductor Workforce Development
Trellice Academy connects semiconductor industry requirements with workforce development across the talent continuum. Starting with employer demand and regional capability assessment, we help align competencies, curriculum, faculty, technical environments and delivery partners to prepare people for the processes, tools and roles required across the semiconductor value chain.
Trellice architects workforce pathways around the processes, tools, occupations, and capabilities required across fabs, OSATs, design organizations, and their supplier ecosystems, so training is built from what production environments actually need.

Trellice Academy connects workforce development to the evolving needs of fabs, OSATs, design organizations, and their suppliers. Industry needs shape the curriculum, credentials, and pathways, not the other way around.
Introduce K–12 learners and early-stage talent to semiconductor technologies, career opportunities and foundational concepts.
Build foundational technical competencies through vocational, technician and industry-aligned workforce pathways.
Support incumbent workers and mid-career professionals transitioning into or advancing within semiconductor roles.
Develop specialized capabilities through engineering, design, verification, packaging, testing and other applied semiconductor projects.
IC design & verification
EDA workflows, simulation and design-oriented projects.
Wafer fabrication
Cleanroom, fabrication process and yield fundamentals.
Equipment & process
Equipment operation, maintenance and process integration.
Advanced packaging
Chiplets, heterogeneous integration and 2.5D/3D packaging concepts.
Test & reliability
Test flows, qualification and reliability fundamentals.
Deployment readiness
Employer-defined competencies, applied projects and hiring pathways where agreed.

Scale proven models
Actual delivery depends on employer validation, partner agreements, facility availability, tool/PDK licensing and funding.
Trellice Academy works with educational institutions, industry and specialist partners to develop semiconductor workforce pathways and explore regional delivery models, including potential Centers of Excellence where partnerships, infrastructure and funding are established.
Trellice Academy programs are screened for export control obligations and research security requirements before participation begins, supported by T-CIP™ and helping protect both our academic partners and their institutions.
Whether you are scaling industrial capability, entering a new market, or building a semiconductor talent pipeline, Trellice Academy connects the programs, partners, and pathways to get you there.
