The South Wales semiconductor cluster, CSconnected, emphasizes the need for a skilled workforce as it enters a decade of growth. With 3,000 employees and over £850 million invested in the past decade, the cluster aims to address a projected global workforce shortfall of 300,000 by 2030.

Key initiatives include partnerships between industry and education to enhance engagement from primary school to PhD level. Notable programs such as the 'passport to semiconductors' will track student progress, while companies like Novomorphic focus on talent development and early engagement strategies.
