Vance, Rubio Mark Trump Administration’s Launch of Foundry School
The multi-campus program will train workers for semiconductors, defense and energy, as officials say industry needs 3.8 million skilled workers by 2033.
- On Thursday, the Trump Administration launched the Foundry School, a multi-campus training program designed to rebuild American manufacturing through partnerships between federal officials, universities, and private firms.
- Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio framed the initiative as a national security priority, citing projections that manufacturing requires 3.8 million skilled workers by 2033.
- Part of the State Department's Pax Silica initiative, the program begins this month with seven regional sessions at institutions including The Ohio State University and Vanderbilt University covering factory design and supply chains.
- Vance argued education leaders steered students away from manufacturing careers, stating, "Working with your hands is very much the work of the future." He emphasized the dignity of building things.
- Campuses have planned 17 sessions in the months ahead, while Stanford will host a follow-up 10-session program beginning in January covering industrial automation and precision tooling.
