Together, We Can Transform Workforce Education for Advanced Manufacturing
The National Workforce Education, Career & Apprenticeship Network (WE CAN) is NIICA's strategic initiative dedicated to meeting the growing demand for skilled workers in the semiconductor, microelectronics, and advanced manufacturing sectors. Through WE CAN, we advance skill-based learning and expand Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAs) to build a robust talent pipeline essential for U.S. economic competitiveness and national security.
By leveraging a national network, WE CAN enhances awareness of existing programs and facilitates the sharing of best practices. This approach reduces redundancy and ensures the efficient use of federal and state resources. WE CAN aligns educational programs with industry needs and fosters collaboration through a dedicated Community of Practice.
