Research and Practice on the New Apprenticeship Training Pathway for Integrated Circuit Industry Talents

Abstract

In response to the shortage of high-skilled talents and the disconnection between traditional training models and industrial demands amidst the accelerated domestic substitution in the integrated circuit (IC) industry, this paper systematically elaborates on a new apprenticeship training pathway characterized by "One Student, One Pathway" and "Primary-Secondary Job Synergy." Based on the mod-ern apprenticeship talent training scheme of Suzhou Industrial Polytechnic, this pathway relies on the "New Factory-in-School" co-built with domestic leading enterprises such as Empyrean, Eswin, and Accotest. It reconstructs a modular curriculum system comprising 20 courses totaling 157.5 credits, emphasizing practical training on domestic EDA tools, domestic test equipment, and domestic chips. By implementing a four-stage progressive training process—"Foundation Consolidation → Core Specialty Construction → Primary-Secondary Job Com-prehensive Practice → Enterprise Post Training"—and establishing a differenti-ated assessment mechanism where the primary job accounts for ≥70% of the weight, the pathway effectively achieves a precise match between student skill growth and enterprise job requirements. Practice shows that this pathway sig-nificantly improves graduates' job adaptability and operational capabilities with domestic tools, providing a replicable paradigm for similar institutions.
