Intel announces funding for eight higher
education proposals to develop semiconductor education and research
programs in Ohio.
What’s New: Today, President Joe Biden joins Intel, Ohio
Gov. Mike DeWine and other federal, state and local officials to
celebrate breaking ground in the Silicon Heartland on two of the
world's most advanced chipmaking facilities. As part of Intel’s
commitment to develop a skilled talent pipeline for its two new
leading-edge chip fabs, Intel also announced the first phase of
funding for its Ohio Semiconductor Education and Research Program.
During this first phase, Intel is providing $17.7 million for eight
proposals from leading institutions and collaborators in Ohio to
develop semiconductor-focused education and workforce programs.

Intel’s Ohio Semiconductor Education and
Research Program will fund collaborative proposals led by eight
Ohio schools. These eight proposals involve more than 80
institutions of higher education across the state. The eight
leading institutions will receive $17.7 million in funding over
three years as part of Intel’s $50 million commitment to Ohio
higher education institutions over the next decade. (Credit: Intel

“Today marks a pivotal moment in the journey
to build a more geographically balanced and resilient semiconductor
supply chain. The establishment of the Silicon Heartland is
testament to the power of government incentives to unlock private
investment, create thousands of high-paying jobs, and benefit U.S.
economic and national security. We would not be here today without
the support of leaders in the administration, Congress and the
state of Ohio, who share a vision to help restore the United States
to its rightful place as a leader in advanced chipmaking.” —Pat
Gelsinger, Intel CEO
Why It’s Important: Semiconductors are the brains behind
the technology that powers our digital age. These chips are
critical to the foundations of the U.S. economy, national security
and technology leadership. Investing to revitalize the U.S.
chipmaking ecosystem will bring a broad range of economic benefits,
while helping to restore balance, dependability and resilience to
the global semiconductor supply chain.
In Ohio, Intel’s more than $20 billion planned investment in a
new semiconductor manufacturing site to produce leading-edge chips
is expected to generate 7,000 construction jobs and 3,000 long-term
positions in manufacturing and engineering. In addition to
providing capacity for Intel’s next-generation products, the
company expects these new factories to support growing demand for
the company’s new foundry business, Intel Foundry Services
(IFS).
How Intel Supports U.S. Research and Development (R&D)
and Manufacturing: Intel’s investment in Ohio builds on the
company’s announcement in Arizona to build two new fabs and its
expansion in New Mexico to add advanced packaging capabilities.
When combined with Intel’s silicon R&D capabilities, this new
site in Licking County, Ohio, will expand the company’s U.S.
“lab-to-fab” pipeline.
Intel also recently celebrated the grand opening of the latest
expansion of its leading-edge developmental factory in Oregon,
where engineers advance Moore’s Law by creating new transistor
architectures, wafer processes and packaging technologies that
underpin the company’s product roadmap. That investment represents
the next phase of Intel’s commitment to driving U.S. leadership in
semiconductor research and development.
About Intel’s Commitment to Education: Intel’s Ohio
Semiconductor Education and Research Program will fund
collaborative proposals led by the University of Cincinnati,
Central State University, Columbus State Community College, Kent
State University, Lorain County Community College, Ohio University
and two from The Ohio State University. Altogether, these eight
proposals involve more than 80 institutions of higher education
across Ohio. The eight leading institutions will receive $17.7
million in funding over three years as part of Intel’s $50 million
commitment to Ohio higher education institutions over the next
decade.
This collaborative program will enable higher education
institutions to address semiconductor manufacturing workforce
shortages and technical challenges, and to innovate and develop new
capabilities with an emphasis on chipmaking. Intel expects this
first iteration of the program to produce nearly 9,000 graduates
for the industry and provide more than 2,300 scholarships over a
three-year period, fostering a diverse homegrown talent
pipeline.
More Context: Intel is committed to expanding digital
readiness to reach 30 million people in 30,000 institutions in 30
countries. This education and workforce program is one more step
forward in Intel’s 2030 Goals and the company’s dedication to using
tech as a force for good, underscoring its aim to make technology
fully inclusive and to expand digital readiness worldwide.
This week, the U.S. National Science Foundation and Intel
launched the first phase of the $100 million national collaboration
over the next 10 years to conduct research and to expand and
diversify the workforce.
In March, Intel launched the semiconductor manufacturing Quick
Start program at Mesa Community College in Arizona. Quick Start is
an accelerated two-week program that prepares students for
rewarding careers as semiconductor technicians with hands-on
learning from experienced Intel employees as instructors.
This year, Intel expanded its AI for Workforce program in which
Intel collaborates with community colleges to address workforce
readiness skills through instruction in artificial intelligence.
Currently there are 70 schools in 32 states participating in the AI
Incubator Network, and in July, Intel and others awarded $600,000
to 15 community colleges to build their AI labs.
