Insight Global announced the launch of its new U.S. Department of Labor-approved Semiconductor Apprenticeship Acceleration Program (SAAP). This initiative is designed to proactively address labor shortages in the semiconductor sector by cultivating a highly-skilled workforce tailored to meet evolving industry demands while saving customers the time and hassle of building an apprenticeship program themselves.
“We have listened to customer concerns in regard to meeting the labor shortage in the industry,” said Jared Tatham, Managing Director of Insight Global’s Semiconductor Division. “Our program has been designed to support customers leveraging semiconductor talent to quickly install a program without having to build a program themselves.”
In partnership with the National Institute for Industry and Career Advancement (NIICA), SAAP is a U.S. Department of Labor-approved semiconductor apprenticeship program available to any customer with hiring needs in the semiconductor sector. This collaboration ensures that businesses can future-proof their operations by accessing top-tier talent through advisory, managed, or custom services.
“By setting up this program, not only are we aligning to industry needs, but we’re leveraging Insight Global’s recruiting engine to help fill the talent gap,” said Tatham. “We have the ability to set up the program, create custom standards, and then recruit talent for the program we’re managing.”
