Training

Based on announcements from March 2026, Samsung is committing over $73 billion in 2026 for chip capacity expansion, R&D, and facility improvements, with a significant focus on strengthening its American manufacturing base. They are partnering with schools and community colleges to support a diverse set of training, reskilling and education programs that build skills for careers in advanced manufacturing and the digital economy. Samsung is focused on training workers for roles in advanced manufacturing, from engineers to technicians. These new manufacturing plants will not be like old days when people stood and performed repetitive tasks but will require special knowledge to operate complex machines that will increase overall productivity which means higher compensation. This same emphasis on training workers is common in all the new foreign investments coming to the US. With over 8.5 million job openings in the US, new manufacturing and trade industries are intensely focusing on training high school graduates to bridge critical skills gaps
