A classroom was only a part of David Campbell’s training, while the rest happened on the manufacturing floor.
David Campbell became the first graduate of Tokyo Electron US’s registered apprenticeship program in Minnesota, through our partnership with Hennepin Technical College.
He combined coursework with paid, hands-on experience at , learning everything from technical fundamentals to troubleshooting equipment failures on the job.
Now he leaves the program with a nationally recognized credential and continues his career with us.
This milestone is a look at what can happen when education and meaningful experience create an entry point into the semiconductor manufacturing industry.
That’s a first worth celebrating. Congratulations, David!
