The CHIPS Act stipulates that semiconductor manufacturers requesting more than $150 million in direct funding under the CHIPS Act will need to submit plans for providing affordable, accessible, reliable and high-quality childcare for the workers who build and facilitate their fabs. The reasoning behind this is simple: without reliable childcare, parents cannot work. But designing and implementing a childcare plan requires a keen understanding of both the needs of workers and the landscape of childcare opportunities proximate to your company. Many resources and solutions are available on local, regional, and national levels. Watch the recording to hear directly from the CHIPS office and representatives from local and national childcare providers about this issue to help you shape your childcare strategy.
