Amesite Announces Response to NIST RFI for Potential Semiconductor Manufacturing USA Institutes
15 December 2022 - 02:08AM
GlobeNewswire Inc.
Amesite Inc. (NASDAQ: AMST), a leading artificial intelligence
software company offering a cloud-based learning platform for
business and education markets, announced today that it has
submitted a response to the National Institute of Standards and
Technology’s request for information regarding the design of
potential semiconductor and microelectronics innovation
manufacturing institutes in the United States.
The Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce
Semiconductors (CHIPS) for America Act is positioned to transform
the U.S. semiconductor industry by offering an array of supportive
funding mechanisms. According to the White House in their
announcement of the Act1, “To ensure more people from all
backgrounds and all regions and communities around the country,
especially people from marginalized, under-served, and
under-resourced communities, can benefit from and participate in
STEM education and training opportunities, the CHIPS and Science
Act authorizes new and expanded investments in STEM education and
training from K-12 to community college, undergraduate and graduate
education.”
With a recent collaboration with NAFEO, Amesite
stands ready to help fulfil the talent shortages and diversity
challenges the semiconductor industry faces today.
“NAFEO’s collaboration with Amesite will enable
a large cohort of diverse persons to attain credentials in growth
and high need disciplines, and equally as important, according to
the Business Roundtable, new and/or different skills. The persons
participating in the NAFEO Amesite collaboration will also have
imbued in them the work ethic and cultural mores that are the
cornerstones of an HBCU education, including a strong sense of
their limitless potential, even in the most competitive industries,
like the semiconductor industry,” commented NAFEO CEO and Attorney
Lezli Baskerville. “We are confident that we will be able to
provide learning opportunities through the various funding sources
that are becoming available, and excited to begin.”
“Amesite and NAFEO have the ability to launch
sophisticated technological programs in as little as 24 hours
around the globe, and are targeting funding for HBCUs and PBIs, to
improve the diversity of the semiconductor workforce,” commented
Amesite Founder and CEO, Dr. Ann Marie Sastry. “The US
semiconductor urgently needs to upskill and reach diverse talent –
and the best way to do that is to leverage a proven SaaS
Partnership. We are grateful for the opportunity to comment and are
eager to help the US lead in this space.”
- As reported by
CSIS2, a recent study found that Taiwan had a shortfall of over
30,000 chip-making workers in the fourth quarter of 2021, a 77
percent increase from the previous year.
- Deloitte has
reported that digital transformation is required in order for the
industry to be competitive and to grow3, which requires upskilling
of present workers in addition to cultivation of digitalization
skills in new workers.
