TSMC recruits women in tech

Women make up about 35% of the U.S. STEM workforce but only roughly 27% of technical, computer and engineering roles, and TSMC Arizona is working to close that gap at its north Phoenix site.

Key points TSMC recruits women in tech
  1. Women make up about 35% of the U.S. STEM workforce but only roughly 27% of technical, computer and engineering roles, and TSMC Arizona is working to close that gap at its north Phoenix site.
  2. The company recruits through apprenticeships and free technician training programs run with Arizona colleges and universities, and in 2026 awarded a $20,000 grant to the Fresh Start Women's Foundation.
  3. One example is equipment technician Jennifer De La Cruz, who moved from the fast-food industry into semiconductor work after finding TSMC Arizona at a Fresh Start career fair.
  4. The push matters because TSMC Arizona plans to grow to more than six fabs, two advanced packaging facilities and a research center as part of a $265 billion U.S. investment, requiring thousands of workers.
