These days, industry titans are setting up shops in the Phoenix area, creating thousands of new jobs, and establishing Arizona's status as a worldwide technological hub.
Currently, both Intel and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company are building several brand-new plants, with Intel building two new plants in Chandler, and TSMC building a new plant in far north Phoenix.
The new plants also mean there will be a need for new workers, and companies are currently looking to hire several thousand of them. CGCC is one of three campuses offering a ‘boot camp’ style course, which is designed to train future semiconductor processing technicians. "You're going to get the basics, like how to use hand tools, hydraulics, and electronics," said Intel Equipment Technician Jeff Davis.
"It’s a team experience from the beginning," said student Bradley McCaskey. "It’s not an individual learning experience."
