The CHIPS Act provided approximately $50 billion to spur domestic fabrication of semiconductors and research and development in this cutting-edge field. The U.S. Department of Commerce, through the CHIPS for America Program Office at the National Institute
of Standards and Technology, is overseeing the distribution of these funds. Grant applications from chip manufacturers and others must include a detailed workforce development plan, spurring partnerships between businesses and workforce education providers
at the local, state and regional levels. Workforce development is also a vital component of the supported R&D activities.<o:p></o:p></p>
