Malaysia-based Spring Semiconductor in association with teleconsulting and skilling platform TConsult, intends to train 10,000 youth in semiconductor manufacturing and design by 2030.
CEO Ken Ku conveyed Spring Semiconductor’s willingness to train the youth at a meeting IT and Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu chaired at the Secretariat on Wednesday, in which representatives of UK-based semiconductor firm ARM Holdings conveyed their interest in investing in Telangana.
Responding to the investment proposal, the Minister said, “We extend our sincere gratitude to ARM Holdings for expressing interest in partnering with us in the semiconductor sector. The government will provide all necessary support to facilitate their entry and growth.”
He said this highlighting Telangana’s business friendly ecosystem and the proactive support extended by the State government to industries. He noted ARM Holdings interest in investing in Telangana reflects the efficiency and credibility of the State’s governance, the Minister’s office said in a release.
Mr. Sridhar Babu also reiterated the government’s commitment to skilling Telangana’s youth in line with industry needs.
Commending the Telangana government’s dedication to emerge as a global hub for skilled talent, Mr. Ku said Spring Semiconductors will develop a specialised curriculum to train local youth in semiconductor manufacturing and design.
The training will involve six months of instruction in Telangana, followed by international internships in countries like Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan. The Minister welcomed the initiative.
TConsult Chairman Sundeep Kumar Makthala said it was not just a skilling programme but a movement to empower the youth with deep-tech capabilities.
