Scroll Down for More Links SIEP: Public - Private Partnership Between Education and Industry The Arizona Office of Business Workforce Development (BWD) met with several of the local semiconductor manufacturers (at the close of the twentieth century) and based on their feedback, realized that the Greater Phoenix area had a huge, heretofore-untapped resource to address the desperate need for highly-trained and educated workers: the Maricopa Community College District. The MCCD is the second-largest community college system in the country, comprising almost 200,000 students spread out over ten separate campus locations. To better leverage this competitive advantage, the BWD (with input from local hightech employers) created the “Semiconductor Industry/Education Partnership” or SIEP. The SIEP is a unique and formal partnership between private companies, state workforce developers and the community college system; with a goal of creating a curriculum and increasing enrollments to close the “gold collar gap” between high-tech (and wellpaying) jobs and available, qualified applicants.
