Training.
A fast-paced industry of technically brilliant problem solvers — who always need to learn.

The semiconductor sector is one of the most demanding and exhilarating industries to build a career in. Our industry is full of technically brilliant, creative problem solvers: engineers, technologists, researchers. Cultivating critical skills to secure Canada’s HQP pipeline is fundamental to achieving market success for the semiconductor sector. FABrIC’s wide-ranging support for skills development includes micro-credentialing, intensive hands-on training, Technology for Non-Techies (TNT) and knowledge-sharing webinars.

Quantum Training

As part of our commitment to ensure Quantum Readiness for Canada, FABrIC delivers industry-relevant programs to equip Canadian companies and researchers with the skills they need to strengthen the industry. Our training catalogue spans everything from introductory to hands-on courses on critical semiconductor technologies.

General Training

  • Quantum Technology for Non-Techies (qTNT) 

Quantum Hardware Training (Part of CMC Basecamp™)

  • Superconducting quantum circuits
  • Silicon quantum photonics

Quantum Software Training

  • Quantum computing with neutral atoms
  • Quantum Chemistry
  • Quantum Machine Learning

Basecamp Training

Basecamps offer training across the full development cycle. This is hands-on training at its most sophisticated. 

Active Silicon Photonics
Training in the design, fabrication, and test of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) targeting the AMF Si Photonics technology, and the ANT NanoSOI Si Photonics technology available through CMC Microsystems.

Passive Silicon Photonics
Training in the design, fabrication, and test of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) targeting applications that include optical communications and sensors.

Superconducting Circuits
The workshop covers the fundamentals of superconductors and Josephson junctions, and how to design circuits such as resonators, SQUIDs, analog to digital converters and qubits.

Quantum Photonics
Training on the design, fabrication, and testing of quantum silicon photonic circuits used in quantum computer hardware.

TNT

This introductory course is tailored for non-technical professionals in support roles—such as legal, marketing, HR, finance, procurement, and IT—who may not be directly involved in chip design or manufacturing but still engage with the semiconductor industry. Whether you’re new to the field or seeking to deepen your understanding, this training will provide you with the essential knowledge to confidently navigate the industry’s technical landscape.
