Innovative partnership with private industry, academia created to catapult Michigan?s semiconductor talent ecosystem, positioning the state to become global talent leader

*"Semiconductor Talent Action Team created to attract businesses, grow economy, onshore supply chains"*

Today, Governor Gretchen Whitmer joined the Michigan Economic Development Corporation to announce the new Semiconductor Talent Action Team, a collaborative, public/private partnership aimed at making Michigan a top state for semiconductor talent solutions and growth.

The Talent Action Team will work across the public sector, industry partners, and training institutions to identify a clear set of semiconductor-specific curricula and R&D investments, placing Michigan in a strong position to attract long-term, sustainable investments from semiconductor companies around the world.

?Michigan is committed to leading the future of the global semiconductor industry by investing in our workforce,? said *Governor Whitmer*. ?We have one of the most skilled, diverse, and abundant workforces in the nation, and by bringing together this new Talent Action Team of our partners in private industry and academia, we can build on our strengths and develop a strategy that will grow our economy for decades to come. The demand for domestic production of semiconductors will only grow, and Michigan is in a strong position to take full advantage of this generational opportunity. I will work with anyone to bring home supply chains, create jobs, and compete to win on a global scale.?

MEDC led the formation of the talent action team, collaborating with global microelectronics industry association SEMI, Michigan State University, University of Michigan, and key community college partners. The Talent Action Team will work across the public sector, industry partners, and training institutions to identify a clear set of semiconductor-specific curricula and R&D investments, placing Michigan in a strong position to attract long-term, sustainable investments from semiconductor companies around the world.
