She enrolled in a 10-day semiconductor training course and landed a new job at Intel soon after. A few weeks later, she told Insider, she received an email about the "Quick Start" program — a 10-day crash course on how to be a semiconductor processing technician. The Quick Start program's website says that semiconductor companies will hire over 20,000 workers in Arizona in the coming years. Of 240 former Quick Start students who filled out an employment outcome form as of June 30th, 75, or 31%, said they had been "hired in field," per MCCC. "I start work at 5:45 AM, and I get off at 6:15 PM," she said.
