Webinar: Workforce Armageddon is here. Will your fab survive? Or thrive?
September 5 @ 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
ChipQuest Webinar
Join us for an exclusive 1-hour webinar designed for HR and Learning & Development professionals in the US semiconductor industry. This event will delve into the pressing workforce challenges faced by the semiconductor industry and explore innovative solutions for training and development.
What is The Semiconductor Workforce Armageddon?
- Massive expansion across the industry
- Nearly every fab competing for the same people
- This leaves many roles unfilled, and other roles filled by underqualified new-hires
- Training green new-hires is expensive
- The semiconductor pace means high pressure to put new-hires to work immediately
- Your experienced people will put even more time into training vs production
As a result you will experience:
- Strained production and missed timelines
- Expensive mistakes by under-trained employees (scrapped lots, equipment downtime, etc)
- Lower productivity from your most knowledgeable and valuable employees
- Increased turnover; people leaving in frustration
- Costly effort to re-recruit, re-hire, re-train
- That much more pressure on experienced staff and new-hires alike
What will you learn?
