A new group cohort is underway for a 14-week training experience designed to help working adults gain the skills, industry credentials, and career support needed to enter the semiconductor workforce. It’s part of a nationally recognized Advanced Manufacturing and Semiconductor training partnership with ACC and Merit America
In May, the group of students completed orientation at the ACC Highland Campus. Students met instructors, coaches, and employer partners while learning what to expect throughout the program. The orientation included a tour of ACC’s advanced manufacturing labs and connecting with fellow cohort members during a networking session. Students also took part in a “Commitment Wall” activity, sharing personal goals and aspirations for the journey ahead.
The program combines online coursework, career coaching, and in-person lab experiences to prepare learners for careers in semiconductor manufacturing and other advanced technology industries. Through the partnership between ACC and Merit America, students receive technical training alongside personalized support designed to help them succeed in the classroom and beyond.
