THE Philippines is poised to strengthen its position as a global semiconductor hub with the launch of a $13.8 million workforce development program.
This two-year program, funded by the International Technology Security and Innovation Fund of the US CHIPS and Science Act, aims to upskill 6,000 Filipinos in key areas of semiconductor assembly, testing, and packaging .
“It’s not that this is the very first activity in this project. There has been an OECD review of our semiconductor ecosystem, and a significant number of those investments are from Arizona,” he added. The Philippines is not starting from scratch. Prior to this program, there were existing partnerships with various stakeholders. “We already have existing partnership programs before ITSI, and we are not just partnering with the US… Korea is a strong player when it comes to semiconductors,” Rodolfo said.
