Rhodes State College will be purchasing new equipment for their new semiconductor certificate program coming to campus. The State of Ohio awarded Rhodes State a $113,000 grant to invest in the new technology. The technology consists of various vacuum and gas equipment that will allow students to learn and train in realistic semiconductor manufacturing environments.
The announcement that was made in January will create 3,000 new manufacturing jobs and thousands more construction jobs. Intel says that the two factories are just the beginning, with the potential of having eight factories at that site. Senators Rob Portman and Sherrod Brown were on hand for the announcement and say that this is a good step toward shoring up the supply chain and putting American workers first.
