NEMC POWER Program

NEMC POWER Program, short for Preparing Our Workforce for microElectronics Resiliency, sits under the Northeast Microelectronics Coalition and funds organizations that establish or expand education and training programs for the regional microelectronics workforce. Its purpose is workforce capacity, not product development, and it is tied to the Northeast's microelectronics ecosystem. The program has a total pool of 1.2 million dollars per cycle and supports projects that run for about one year. A minimum 20 percent cost-share is required. NEMC Hub members are the primary audience, but any entity with a microelectronics industry presence may apply if it can show impact in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, or New Jersey. Individuals are not eligible, and employer partnership is mandatory. The best fit is a training or education program that can show measurable regional impact and a clear employer commitment behind it. Applicants outside the eight-state region can still be in scope if the project itself changes outcomes there, which makes the program useful for institutions that can deliver workforce pipelines rather than a single-site training event.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
