Summary
The NSTC Workforce Partner Alliance (WFPA) program seeks to invest in training and educational support for American workers, who are essential to extending U.S. leadership in foundational technologies and strengthening the U.S. semiconductor ecosystem. Proposals can support established programs with a track record of success seeking to scale; growing programs seeking to expand or realign; or new programs that meet a previously unaddressed need, opportunity, or theory of change. This program will specifically focus on closing workforce and skills gaps in the United States for researchers, engineers, and technicians involved in semiconductor design, manufacturing, and production.
