The CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 represents a significant workforce initiative. It is not only notable for its emphasis on advancing STEM education at higher levels, but also for providing crucial programs and resources aimed at training skilled technical workers who do not possess bachelor's degrees. In this free interactive webinar, learn about key workforce initiatives in the CHIPS and Science Act and how ACS is strengthening the pool of Chemical Technical Professionals (CTPs) at a systemic level through a two-pronged approach--increasing opportunities for CTPs by ‘building partnerships’ between training programs and industrial employers and ‘changing the message’ by targeting high school and two-year college graduates with accurate information about career opportunities for skilled Chemical Technical Professionals.
