START-SEMI: Skills, Talent, And Re-education Training for Semiconductors

START-SEMI vision is to engage, inspire and train a new generation of students, upskilled and re-skilled employees. The project main focus will be to developed a unique range of blended CPD and Training Materials for post-16 participants (Apprentices, Students, Reskilled adults), including Taster courses (promoting semiconductor technologies and careers) and Practical Training courses.

Courses will also be integrated into existing Engineering, Physics and Chemistry programmes of UK Universities and FE colleges, raising awareness of semiconductors and related career opportunities.

START-SEMI's unique programme is co-designed by academics and industry. Project partners have the facilities and track-record of developing semiconductor-related courses and materials to increase the UK skills/training base. Short courses will deliver specialised skills using an innovative blend of online learning and in-person practical workshops at our state-of-the-art facilities. VR/ AR and holographic training will be combined with practical courses in semiconductor device fabrication, packaging, characterisation and testing.
