作为一家公司,安森美半导体通过评估所有员工的贡献来庆祝差异并促进包容性环境。
STEM UP(针对代表性不足人群的科学,技术,工程和数学)是安森美半导体的多元化和包容性倡议下的亲和力网络小组,该倡议致力于促进内部和外部STEM的多样性。
除了促进安森美半导体招募和留住不同人群外,我们还认为,帮助培养社区不同人群对STEM机会的兴趣和获取机会同样重要。
今年早些时候,STEM UP与SEMI基金会和Gateway社区学院合作,在我们位于亚利桑那州凤凰城的工厂赞助了一项名为Semi High Tech University(Semi HTU)的独特三天职业曝光计划。
在三天的时间里,来自三所高中的不同群体学生参加了与现实世界职业申请相关的实践性STEM活动。
员工志愿者教授STEM课程,主题包括质量控制,微芯片,化学等。为了了解这些主题如何应用于现实世界,学生们参观了我们的评估,表征,产品分析和技术评估和表征实验室。
学生们还参观了我们的回收和再循环中心,我们为客户和回收,回收和处理废料的场所提供环保解决方案。
最后,我们通过培训他们的简历写作,面试准备和适当的社交媒体使用,为专业人士做好准备。
每位学生都接受了一名员工的面试,并有机会回答关于领导力,动机,时间管理等的行为风格面试问题。有些员工甚至愿意在为期三天的课程结束后与这些学生保持联系。
为了庆祝学生的成就和志愿者的奉献精神,我们邀请了参与学生的家人参加毕业典礼。
一名由同龄人提名的学生在毕业时获得了2000美元的奖学金,这是他在三天内展示的半高科技运营核心价值观。
半高技术大学对公司和志愿者来说是一次非常有益的经历。
在三天的过程中,我们可以看到学生行为的显着差异,包括他们积极参与讨论,加强团队合作以及对STEM的整体兴趣。
“SEMI High Tech U让我们有机会影响我们行业和世界的未来。
看到这些聪明的学生捕捉到新的想法,并在科学,技术和工程中找到乐趣,这是一件令人高兴的事!
我很高兴看到他们“毕业”,以及我们在短短三天的生活中为自己的生活所做的改变和个人目标。
我迫不及待想要做另一个!“ - 马克尼尔森
“对我而言,这是一个回馈社会的好机会,更重要的是影响我们年轻人的思想,考虑加入半导体行业,并将其视为一个充满活力和有趣的行业。” - Mehdi Zamanian
“我自愿帮助模拟面试会议,因为我记得我对大学和工作的第一次面试是如何挑战的!
Semi High Tech U提供了在面试中使用的问题和建议。
本次会议的目的是帮助学生做好准备并为他们提供反馈,以便他们在面试进一步的教育,实习和工作时使用。
这个过程是向学生提供一些现实反馈和指导的好方法,并鼓励他们继续参与STEM活动。“ - Andrea Kupec

As a company, ON Semiconductor celebrates differences and promotes an inclusive environment by valuing the contributions of all employees. STEM UP (science, technology, engineering and math for underrepresented populations) is an affinity network group under ON Semiconductor’s Diversity and Inclusion initiative that strives to promote diversity in STEM both internally and externally. Along with promoting recruitment and retention of diverse populations at ON Semiconductor, we also believe it is equally important to help foster interest in and access to STEM opportunities among diverse populations in the community.
Earlier this year, STEM UP partnered with the SEMI Foundation and Gateway Community College, to sponsor a unique three day career exposure program called Semi High Tech University (Semi HTU) at our site in Phoenix, Arizona. Over the course of three days, a diverse group students from three high schools participated in hands-on STEM activities relating to real world career applications. Employee volunteers taught STEM courses on topics such as quality control, microchips, chemistry, etc. To see how these topics apply to the real-world, students toured our evaluation, characterization, product analysis and technology assessment and characterization labs. Students also visited our reclaim and recycle center where we provide an environmentally responsible solution to our customers and sites for returning, recycling and disposing scrap materials.
Lastly, we prepared students for the professional world by training them on resume writing, interview preparation and proper social media use. Each student was interviewed by an employee and given the opportunity to respond to behavioral style interview questions on leadership, motivation, time management, etc. Some employees even offered to stay in touch with these students as mentors after the three-day program. To celebrate the accomplishments of the students and dedication of our volunteers, we invited family members of the participating students to a graduation ceremony. One student, nominated by his peers, was awarded a $2,000 USD scholarship at graduation as a result of the Semi High Tech operational core values he demonstrated throughout the three days.
Semi High Tech University was an extremely rewarding experience for the company and our volunteers. Over the course of three days, we could see a significant difference in student behavior including their active participation in discussion, enhanced team work and overall interest in STEM.
“SEMI High Tech U gave us a chance to influence the future of our industry and our world. It is a joy to see these bright students capture new ideas and find the fun in science, technology, and engineering! I was excited to see them ‘graduate’ and the changes we made in their lives in those three short days in confidence and personal goals. I can’t wait to do another one!” – Mark Nelson
“For me this was a great opportunity to give something back to the community and more importantly to influence our young minds to consider joining the Semiconductor industry and see it as a dynamic and interesting industry that it is.” – Mehdi Zamanian
“I volunteered to help with the mock interview session because I remember how my first interviews for colleges and jobs were challenging! Semi High Tech U provided questions and suggestions to use during the interview. The goal of the session was to help prepare students and offer feedback for them to use when they interview for further education, internships, and jobs. This process was a great way to provide some real-world feedback and coaching to the student, and encourage them to continue engaging in STEM activities.” – Andrea Kupec
