India's Chip Workforce Gets Training From Global Semiconductor Firms
India is building more factories that make and package computer chips.
To operate these factories, the country needs many trained workers.
Tokyo Electron plans to open a training centre in Gujarat next year.
It will help prepare people to become factory and equipment engineers.
Infineon Technologies has helped create a hands-on training centre in Ahmedabad.
Students and professionals there can practice using real semiconductor equipment.
Micron is working with 20 universities on research and chip-design courses.
It also introduces children to science and technology through chip camps, STEM labs and AI programmes.
Tokyo Electron plans to establish a semiconductor training centre in Gujarat next year with support from Japan's government.
The centre will focus on developing future fab engineers and equipment engineers for India's semiconductor industry.
Infineon Technologies and NIELIT have established a semiconductor manufacturing Centre of Excellence in Ahmedabad.
The Infineon-supported facility includes eight units of industry-grade equipment for practical training.
Micron is working with 20 Indian universities and reaching younger students through chip camps, STEM labs and AI programmes.
