Building the workforce of the future

“I need a class of workers that are going to be able to create the most efficient factories with the highest automation, metrology, tool efficiency, etc.,” Gelsinger said.
Intel has announced a $100 million education and workforce development plan, with $50 million in funding from Intel and $50 million from the National Science Foundation. The workforce development initiative will focus on the Ohio plants.
With higher costs of labor in the United States, Gelsinger said he also needs to focus on being cost-effective rather than simply replicating the same jobs from overseas in the U.S. “We have to have better jobs using higher automation, more robotics, more innovation, AI efficiency,” he said.
