Nine additional team members are set to graduate in the winter of 2024.
"On behalf of more than 1,400 team members worldwide, we are tremendously proud of the accomplishments of our pioneer apprentices," said President and COO Ross Berntson. "The New York State Apprenticeship Program aligns with Indium Corporation's dedication to developing our workforce, enabling them to excel in their current roles and also to meet the evolving demands of the advanced manufacturing sector, particularly within the semiconductor industry."
