Sharing a recently published article that I wrote after immersing in the 3-day Semicon India 2024 event last month. The excitement around semiconductor fabs of course was palpable, and training the required workforce for it emerged as a critical issue. The humble polytechnics could have a huge role to play: "Polytechnics and ITIs should receive more visibility – billboards popularising these institutions and job prospects of diploma holders need media representation alongside those boasting MBA rank holders and their six figure packages. Ambition tempered by realistic goals can create a productive demography that not only fulfils the needs of a growing semiconductor industry but also aligns with India’s greater social and economic objectives."   https://lnkd.in/gTgv6rsz
