Chandler Unified School District is partnering with companies and organizations to offer a new CTE course at Hamilton High School that trains students in semiconductor manufacturing.

The program is part of a broader plan to prepare future tech workers in Arizona.

The city of Chandler and the Chandler Unified School District partnered on a $10,000 investment to expand career readiness programs for high school students during the 2024–25 school year.

A portion of the funds supported the Build 4 Tomorrow Career Expo on March 6 at Perry High School—connecting students with local industry partners to earn credentials.
