National Landscape Analysis
The Data Behind America's Semiconductor Workforce Strategy
The National Landscape Analysis, developed with analytical support from McKinsey, delivers a clear, data-driven picture of the U.S. semiconductor talent pipeline—mapping existing programs, identifying gaps and strengths, assessing regional readiness, and establishing baseline metrics for workforce demand and capacity.
This analysis is foundational to the NNME. It informs decisions about regions, curriculum modernization, and partnership investments, and serve as the basis for a living analytical model that continuously tracks workforce supply and demand at both regional and national levels—ensuring alignment with industry needs and focus on longterm impact.
Five Areas of Analysis
The National Landscape Analysis examines the semiconductor workforce across five critical dimensions, providing a comprehensive view of talent demand, workforce supply, existing solutions, future needs, and the actions required to strengthen America's semiconductor workforce.
- Demand: How large is the workforce challenge, and where is it concentrated?
- Supply: Where does semiconductor talent come from today?
- Future workforce needs: What does the resulting talent gap look like?
- Catalog of current solutions: Which solutions exist today, and how scalable are they?
- Gap analysis and action planning: What could be done to close the remaining gap?
