This week, the U.S. Department of Education launched the CTE CHIPS Challenge, a $1 million multi-phase prize competition to expand student recruitment, training and placement strategies in semiconductor fabrication (fab) construction and advanced manufacturing careers aligned with the CHIPS and Science Act (CHIPS). Learn how you can take advantage of this opportunity with the first CTE CHIPS Challenge informational webinar on October 29.
Through this Challenge, the Department invites educators to submit innovative action plans by December 20 to:
- Increase students’ opportunities to develop skills and experiences that better prepare them CHIPS-aligned careers;
- Expand student recruitment, training and placement strategies in these high-skill, high-wage in-demand careers; and
- Support teachers in building out CTE programs.
Semi-finalists and finalists will be eligible to receive targeted technical assistance, opportunities to learn from subject experts, access to peer networks, recognition on a national scale and a portion of the $1 million prize pool.
Join the CTE CHIPS Challenge Community and encourage others in your network to do the same. Learn more at CTECHIPSChallenge.com.
