On April 10, 2023, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, along with Micron and the National Science Foundation announced the formation of the Northeast University Semiconductor Network, a groundbreaking initiative bringing together 20+ universities to form a training pipeline to build the future of the semiconductor industry in Central New York. Following his personal invitation, Schumer also brought one of the federal government’s top science officials, Dr. Sethuraman Panchanathan, Director of the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), to meet with local stakeholder to plan and prepare Central New York’s workforce to build the future of technology. Schumer explained that his CHIPS and Science Act authorizes billions in new investment for the NSF’s STEM workforce training and education programs, and the senator wants those federal dollars to be used to prepare the next generation of workers for the thousands of good-paying construction, manufacturing, and innovation jobs on the horizon.
