Semicon Techno Lab, which trains engineers responsible for maintaining and inspecting semiconductor manufacturing equipment, has exceeded 400 cumulative graduates. Field retention has remained in the 90% range, supported by an educational system designed to enable inexperienced personnel to remain active in the field over the long term after assignment.
Semicon Techno Lab is a training center specializing in the maintenance and inspection of semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Since opening in February 2024, it has produced more than 400 graduates cumulatively. Retention after assignment to the field has remained in the 90% range, and the center is reportedly helping to address labor shortages in the industry.
The training consists of 3 pillars: practical training using actual equipment, the development of strict safety standards and professionalism, and a team-based curriculum. It aims to develop inexperienced personnel into workers capable of performing in the field. In the hands-on equipment training, participants experience inspection and repair processes using actual load ports and sorters, supporting their readiness on the first day in the field.
The company says that developing human resources is its top priority, and that the strong retention rate is attributable to the bonds among participants and the ability of members of the same cohort to support one another, which helps sustain their commitment.
The training center is called Semicon Techno Lab and is located in Naka-ku, Nagoya. It opened in February 2024, targets inexperienced personnel, and offers a 1-month training program. It is scheduled to relocate to Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, in May 2026.
