At a launch event with Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, hosted by Arizona Commerce Authority President & CEO Sandra Watson, Intel Chief People Officer Christy Pambianchi explained, "Facility technicians are especially difficult to find. There is a much smaller pool of trained applicants with this specific skill set. The Intel apprenticeship program addresses this challenge by expanding the semiconductor talent pipeline and providing critical support structures, especially needed for women and underrepresented groups, to help meet the workforce demand of the future."

Intel's pilot apprenticeship program is launching with ten Fresh Start women. The program will offer a combination of classroom instruction and on-the-job training to prepare participants for successful careers in the semiconductor industry. The Fresh Start women, graduates of the QuickStart Semiconductor Technician program offered at Mesa Community College, will embark on a journey that not only enhances their skills but also offers them a tangible pathway to a stable and rewarding career.
英特尔试点徒训项目首批学员为10名新起点女性。该项目提供课堂教学和实习培训相结合的方式,为参与者在半导体行业打拼成功打下基础。女性学徒班学员来自梅萨社区大学开设的QuickStart半导体技术员项目,她们将开启一段既锤炼技能、又提供明确稳定发展路径的工作生涯。
"When I first applied to Fresh Start, I was struggling with postpartum depression and felt like my only identity was as a mom. Fresh Start helped me realize my potential and discover a passion for the tech field," said Laura Jabalera, one of the women who applied to the program. "This Intel apprenticeship offers me the chance to continue learning and start a career that inspires me. It's about breaking the cycle of living paycheck to paycheck and creating a brighter future for myself and my daughter."
其中一名申请人劳拉·哈巴利娅(Laura Jabalera)表示:“我最初报名新起点基金会时,正在抑郁症的困扰下挣扎,感觉只有当妈妈这一个身份。新起点帮我意识到自己的潜力,发掘出我对技术领域的热情。这个英特尔的徒训项目让我继续学习,并开始一个激励自己的职业发展。这是打破月光族的循环,为自己和女儿创造美好未来的机会。”
Participants in the one-year registered apprenticeship program will earn a competitive wage from day one as full-time Intel employees. Upon successful completion, they will be guaranteed a job at Intel and receive a portable, nationally recognized credential.
在此一年的徒训期内,学员将作为全职僱员获得具有竞争力的工资待遇。成功完成后,他们将获得英特尔的工作机会,并获得一份具有国家认可的可移项的证书。
"Fresh Start has been pivotal in my journey towards a new career as a single mom," added Gabby Medina, another Fresh Start applicant for the apprenticeship program. "Fresh Start's support has empowered me to break free from past challenges and embrace a future in technology that I never thought possible. This apprenticeship with Intel is not just about learning new skills—it's about paving a path to independence and showing other women that we can thrive in this industry."
另一名新起点女性基金会学员加比·麦迪纳说:“作为一名单亲妈妈,新起点对我转行进入新职业的帮助巨大,赋我解决过往难题的勇气。这个与英特尔合作的徒训项目不仅让我们学习到新技能,更让我们为独立生活铺平了新的道路,展现给其他女性们:我们同样可以在这个行业中蓬勃发展。”
