SEMI

SEMI engages with its members to identify required competencies and skills.

How does it work？

Courses are profiled to determine alignment with industry requirements. These educational competencies are compared to SEMI’s Unified Competency Model (UCM), which is maintained by industry through a SEMI facilitated process. Once a course is profiled, the course and/or program data are added to the SEMI Works™ Portal. The SEMI Works™ Portal uses the data to match those seeking training to providers.
What are the benefits?

Greater alignment between courses and industry requirements.

A scalable process to ensure alignment between training / education providers and industry.

The ability to match courses to those seeking training.

Improved marketing and increased awareness of aligned courses by individuals and employers.
