USC Cleanroom Technician Microcredentials
IEEE partnered with the University of Southern California, leader of the CA DREAMS collaboration funded by the US Department of Defense, to create stackable, skills-based microcredentials for their semiconductor cleanroom training program. IEEE worked with USC to create standardized skills assessments and the associated microcredentials so that industry hiring managers can recognize the newly developed skills. These microcredentials help people with or without 4-year degrees to join the semiconductor industry, as cleanroom technicians or as engineers with cleanroom experience.
