광주과학기술원(GIST)과 글로벌 반도체 컴퓨팅 플랫폼 기업 Arm이 반도체 설계 전문인력 양성에 나선다.
The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy announced the opening ceremony of the GIST-Arm School, a specialized training institution for semiconductor design, held at GIST in Gwangju.
The GIST-Arm School was initiated following a meeting in December between President Yoon Suk Yeol, SoftBank Chairman Masayoshi Son, and Arm CEO Rene Haas to discuss collaboration in the semiconductor sector. Subsequently, the Ministry and Arm signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to cultivate domestic semiconductor talent, and in March and April, GIST was designated as a specialized graduate school and an academy for semiconductors, respectively.
The curriculum will include a 'Specialized Graduate School' for GIST master's and doctoral students, and a 'Semiconductor Academy' for undergraduates, job seekers, and current employees. The graduate program will feature ten regular courses utilizing Arm technology and industry-academia projects. The academy will offer nine non-degree courses focused on semiconductor design based on Arm IP and AI semiconductor design and performance analysis using AI accelerators.
Arm will provide students with access to learning materials, including Arm IP and software. The Ministry will support faculty recruitment and the establishment of practical training equipment, while Synopsys and Cadence will supply semiconductor design automation software. Samsung Electronics also plans to provide a semiconductor process design kit (PDK) necessary for the training.
The GIST-Arm School aims to train a total of 1,400 semiconductor professionals over five years, starting in the second half of this year and continuing until 2030, including 400 master's and doctoral students and 1,000 current employees and job seekers. The government expects that the talent produced here will contribute to the revitalization of the semiconductor industry in the southwestern region.
Lee Min-woo, head of the Ministry's Industrial Growth Office, stated, "We will develop the GIST-Arm School into a successful model for nurturing semiconductor talent and establish a regional talent development ecosystem."
