The Global Semiconductor Alliance (GSA) launched the GSA Talent Initiative (GTI) to attract, develop, and retain the skilled workforce needed to support the semiconductor industry’s rapid growth, projected to reach $1.3 trillion by 2030.
As semiconductors power innovation across industries, the demand for highly skilled talent is greater than ever. GTI addresses this need by expanding the talent pipeline, creating structured career pathways, and promoting inclusive leadership development.

A cornerstone of GTI is the Women’s Leadership Initiative (WLI), aimed at increasing female representation in technical and leadership roles. Aside from WLI we also have GTI University to enhance the semiconductor industry’s visibility among STEM students and professionals through targeted university outreach and engagement.

Through targeted university outreach, career development programs, and efforts to strengthen talent, GTI is shaping a more inclusive, innovative, and future-ready semiconductor workforce.

Women's Leadership Initiative

GSA and GTI established its Women’s Leadership Initiative (WLI), seeking to elevate women’s participation on both boards and leadership positions. The Initiative is led by GSA’s Women’s Leadership Council that harnesses the leadership of women who have risen to the top ranks of the semiconductor industry. Utilizing their experiences, these women provide inspiration for and sponsorship of the next generation of female leaders.

From empowering Lunch & Learns to impactful mentorship programs, WLI builds momentum all year — and it all culminates at WISH, the largest talent conference in the semiconductor industry. With over 1000 attendees from across the globe, WISH brings together executives, engineers, and rising leaders to connect, share insights, and inspire action.

University

GTI University Programs create meaningful opportunities to connect with the next generation of tech talent through dynamic, on-campus events.

Our flagship program, Navigate Your Way to a Career in Semiconductors, is thoughtfully designed to introduce students to the vital role semiconductors play in powering innovation. These events offer an engaging platform for members and sponsors to share industry insights, build relationships with emerging talent, and highlight exciting career pathways — all while enhancing existing early talent strategies
