The semiconductor industry is poised for tremendous growth. To adapt to industry talent demands, it’s important to improve workforce cultures and increase outreach to diverse groups. This includes the LGBTQ+ community. Semiconductor PRIDE was created to address a lack of awareness of the LGBTQ+ representation in the industry and to ensure both a better experience for the LGBTQ+ community and an industry that has the access to all available talent. Learn how Semiconductor PRIDE will support recruiting, hiring and retaining top talent and increase LGBTQ+ inclusion within the semiconductor industry.
