Military veterans and reservists are invited to learn more about employment pathways into the semiconductor industry at an event hosted by TSMC Arizona tomorrow, Saturday, Nov. 14 at its North Phoenix site.
The semiconductor giant’s goal is to assist military veterans in reacclimating to civilian life by harnessing their skills for employment opportunities, many of which do not require a college degree.
Veterans will also have the opportunity to apply for TSMC’s free technician training programs, which start in January. A sampling of the the company’s available roles for veterans include:
- Operations and supply chain for those with military logistics experience that could translate into improving supply chain efficiency.
- Technician roles, where military experience with machinery, adhering to Standard of Practices and system monitoring is valuable.
- Engineering tech positions for veterans with an electronics or technology background that could align with semiconductor engineering needs.
- Project management and processes, where leadership and discipline gained from managing squads or crews have prepared veterans for project management roles.
“Veterans with an electronics background could be a good fit for TSMC Arizona’s engineering technology positions or put their skills to work in technician roles, which do not require a college degree,” said Chris Macfadden, a nearly 23-year U.S. Air Force veteran who now serves as TSMC Arizona’s .workforce development program manager.
For technician jobs, TSMC Arizona hires based on skill set and provides free on-the-job training.
Military veterans and reservists who complete a pre-screening questionnaire will be matched with a career professional to identify potential jobs best suited to their skills.
