Fragomen Semiconductor Industry Roundtable

Fragomen’s Semiconductor Industry Group is hosting our second in-person semiconductor roundtable, taking place on Wednesday, February 11. This session continues our ongoing series focused on the rapidly evolving workforce and mobility landscape shaping the semiconductor sector, offering a forum for practical insight-sharing, peer benchmarking and forward-looking strategy discussions. 

As the semiconductor industry prepares for another year marked by accelerated innovation, geopolitical shifts and evolving global policy priorities, this roundtable will provide a collaborative environment to explore what’s ahead for global mobility, immigration and talent deployment. 

Key Topics Include:

• Weighted H-1B Lottery: Examine how salary-based H-1B cap selection might influence hiring strategies and critical talent allocation. 
• Challenges with Green Card Pathways: Discuss emerging trends in audits, recruitment hurdles and backlogs affecting long-term sponsorship. 
• Current & Future Workforce Planning: Share approaches for aligning immigration programs with multi-year hiring forecasts and skills demand to support fab expansion, CHIPS Act growth and specialized talent needs. 
• Alternative Worksite Placement & Jurisdictions: Review considerations for alternative worksite placement: short term to long term, cost implications and multi-jurisdiction compliance.
