Dear
Students, Semiconductors
continue to play a critical role in an increasingly connected world.
Advancements in IoT and AI continue to fuel the demand for leading-edge
semiconductors, further anchoring importance in shaping the future. Rising
geopolitical tensions, sustainability and rising inflation and interest rates
have been adding to the complexity of these current issues. Singapore
accounts for approximately 11 percent of the global semiconductor market
share, and about one-fifth of the global semiconductor equipment is
manufactured here. Despite the existing headwinds, the outlook for the
semiconductor industry continues to be a beacon of light for the global
economy given the acceleration of emerging technology. The industry is
still on target to hit the US$1trillion mark by 2030 globally. The
manufacturing sector constitutes a quarter of Singapore’s GDP and is an
integral economic engine for Singapore. The sector is made up of companies
with key activities in semiconductors, consumer electronics and information
technology. In
the dynamic and ever-changing semiconductor industry, the presence of a
highly skilled workforce is crucial for ensuring continuous growth.
SSIA’s key initiatives have also espoused the values for companies, industry
partners, and government agencies to join forces to cultivate a thriving
talent ecosystem that continues to grow and flourish. SSIA
has been working with academic institutions to attract and cultivate young
talent to the semiconductor industry. Some of the new key initiatives that
have been mooted since last year is the IC Design Summer Camp and the
Semiconductor Active Youth (SAY) Program that was launched in January this
year. We
will continue to highlight these three key areas in the coming year: 1.
Creating awareness of the semiconductor ecosystem 2.
Upgrading and upskilling our workforce and nurturing
new talent pipeline 3.
Identifying new talent pipeline Do
follow SSIA on our social platforms to be attuned to the happenings. I hope future talents, like yourself, will consider joining this
vibrant industry. More information about the semiconductor industry and SSIA
can be found on these links. §
