MOU status: DoD MOU current through July 21, 2027.

What these labels mean
MOU active
An MOU is the agreement between an employer and the SkillBridge program. When it expires, the employer has to renew it before it can take new service members.
MOU expires soon
The agreement ends within 90 days. That is not a reason to rule a program out. It is a reason to ask the employer where the renewal stands.
MOU expired
The date on the government listing has passed. We still show the program, because hiding it would shrink this directory in a way we could not explain. Confirm status with the employer before you apply.
MOU date not stated
The government listing carries no expiration date for this organization.
Detailed listing
The employer filled in most of its record: length, delivery method, eligibility, and a description of the work.
Partial listing
Some of those fields are filled in and some are blank.
Sparse listing
Very little of the record is filled in. That is common, and it is not a judgment about the program or the employer. It does mean you will have to ask them more questions directly.

Dates come from the government SkillBridge export. We do not screen, rank, or endorse organizations, and we take nothing from them.

Summary

Launched in 2022 with multiple cohorts throughout the year, Vet S.T.E.P. (Veteran Semiconductor Training & Experience Program), funded by the New York Center for Research, Economic Advancement, Technology, Engineering, & Science (NY CREATES) and the Northeast Regional Defense Technology Hub (NORDTECH), builds a robust pipeline of skilled, disciplined talent for New York and the U.S' expanding microelectronics ecosystem, while supporting veterans’ meaningful transition to stable, high‑tech civilian careers. Hosted and managed by an experienced NY CREATES team, this 10‑week, no‑cost training internship program equips transitioning service members and military veterans with in-demand technical skills and hands-on experience necessary for careers in the semiconductor industry. The program begins with two weeks of classroom instruction at the state‑of‑the‑art NY CREATES Albany Nano Tech Complex, covering key areas such as semiconductor manufacturing practices, basic AC/DC and electronics, vacuum systems, sensors, and diagnostics and troubleshooting. Following training, participants engage in an eight‑week immersive internship with NY CREATES’ industry partner companies across the country, especially upstate New York, where they gain real‑world experience in roles supporting manufacturing operations.

Eligibility

High school diploma/GED, but no formal degree required; transitioning service members eligible under DOD SkillBridge/Career Skills Program. Military veterans and active-duty spouses can also qualify on a case-by-case basis for the 2-week hands-on training.

What the work involves

Manufacturing Technicians, Field Service Technicians, Equipment Technicians, Automation Technicians, Industrial Facilities Technicians: Program graduates will be placed into intern roles, depending on program partnerships and available internship collaborations. The training is targeted at E-3 through E-6, (but others may apply), to fill roles in process, supply chain, operations, applications, R&D, S&M, test, field service, installation, repair and maintenance, packaging, semiconductor manufacturing, verification, and integration, as either a technician or engineer.
