In partnership with Micron and other high-tech partners around New York State, we are hosting a free introductory program to the Semiconductor Industry. This is not only for students, but for anyone who wants to see what new career opportunities are available as Micron and its partners ramp up production in New York. The overall New York average for semiconductor processing technicians is about $68,564/year.
This course is designed to provide the fundamental skills and knowledge needed for careers in the semiconductor and advanced manufacturing industries. Through classroom discussion, hands-on labs, simulations, and equipment demonstrations, students learn problem-solving techniques, cleanroom practices, measurement and inspection methods, mechanical and electrical systems, automation, PLCs, motors, fluid power, vacuum systems, and workplace safety.
Participants will also be able to earn 3 college credits as well as SnapOn® Industry Certification in hand tools as part of the class.
The program will run on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. at JCC in Building 3. The first class will be on October 20, 2026, and the program will end on December 10, 2026. Students will be provided with all materials and equipment for class.
