More companies in the semiconductor industry are rethinking the traditional path of requiring a 4-year degree, or even an associate’s. Instead, many are opting for apprenticeships, Hire-Train-Deploy programs, and internal training, focusing on what skills are truly needed to get new hires productive right away. As Aaron Ritchie points out, this shift could be a game-changer for those looking to pivot from adjacent industries into high-demand, high-paying semiconductor roles.
