As the semiconductor industry booms here in Texas, so does the need for skilled labor. I spoke with Kevin Fincher – the CEO of the Austin Manufacturer's Association or ARMA – about the CHIPS Act's impact on our state's manufacturing workforce.

The CHIPS Act is not only creating opportunities to research and produce microchip technology here in Texas, it's helping the U.S. be less reliant on other semiconductor driven countries. And as Adriana Loh shows us, it's also helping universities across the nation innovate in big tech on a global stage.
