SEMI VetWorks™

Connecting Veterans and Transitioning Service Members to Careers Powering the Future of Technology

SEMI VetWorks™ helps veterans, military spouses, transitioning service members, and employers connect through workforce pathways across the semiconductor and microelectronics industry.

From advanced manufacturing and engineering to operations, facilities, cybersecurity, and skilled trades, VetWorks™ helps translate military experience into high-demand civilian career opportunities.

Supporting the Military Community Through Workforce Opportunity

VetWorks™ was created to help strengthen connections between the semiconductor industry and the military community.

The initiative helps veterans and transitioning service members better understand how their skills, leadership experience, technical training, and mission-driven backgrounds align with opportunities across the semiconductor ecosystem.

At the same time, VetWorks™ helps employers connect with highly skilled talent prepared to contribute to one of the world’s fastest-growing industries.

Mission-Ready Talent for a Critical Industry

Veterans and transitioning service members bring valuable experience in technical operations, advanced systems, leadership, logistics, problem-solving, teamwork, and high-performance environments.

These capabilities align closely with workforce needs across semiconductor manufacturing, equipment maintenance, cybersecurity, facilities operations, engineering support, advanced manufacturing, and technical operations.

VetWorks™ helps bridge the gap between military experience and civilian workforce opportunity by creating clearer career pathways into the semiconductor industry.
