Taiwan Electric American apprenticeship plan, Hanbao store staff transformed into semi-conductor technician

Taiwan Electric's US subsidiary TSMC Arizona launched a semiconductor registration technical apprenticeship program last year to train technical staff, and currently has nearly 150 technical apprentices. Arizona local TV station visited Nolan Cottingham, who transformed from a Hanburg store employee to a semiconductor process technician through apprenticeship.
Cottingham accepted CW7 Arizona to share his experience in participating in apprenticeship planning. He worked at the In-N-Out restaurant for 6 years. When he saw the application for the application for the apprenticeship, he immediately applied for the application. After the interview, he participated in the apprenticeship.
Cottingham said that in the process unit, he works as a monitoring equipment to ensure that all operations are smooth and to report any errors or problems to the engineer. From baking burgers every day to working now, it feels like I bumped into a wall and I need to learn a lot.
He said that he is learning the working principle of all tools. His job is to process ion beams, which inject ion into the transistor on the crystalline, leaving it with positive or negative charges in order to transmit current. When I just learned, all the art and writing felt like a new language.
Cottingham said that the semiconductor industry is growing rapidly, hoping to become a senior processing technology employee in 10 years; by then, he should have a very high salary and ensure that everything is running smoothly.
Taiwan News pointed out that the apprenticeship plan is supported by the Phoenix government and provides opportunities for those who are interested in starting a personal career in the semiconductor industry through cooperation with national industrial organizations, local governments and academic circles. The employees who participate can not only obtain apprenticeships through their time at TSMC Arizona, but also improve their skills through classes at local community colleges.
TsMC Arizona president Castanares said that semiconductor industry is the industry everyone needs because modern life cannot leave it. The global demand for computing power, as well as the computing power needed by individuals in daily life, will always exist.
