Case Study: USC Cleanroom Technician Microcredentials
IEEE partnered with the University of Southern California, as part of the California D.R.E.A.M.S. Microelectronics Hub funded by the US Department of Defense, to create stackable, skills-based microcredentials for their semiconductor cleanroom technician training program. IEEE worked with USC to create standardized assessments and the microcredentials issued to those that pass those assessments. These microcredentials help people without 4-year degrees apply for work in the semiconductor industry as cleanroom technicians.
