Foundry School launched to rebuild U.S. manufacturing workforce

The Trump administration is launching Foundry School, a national workforce training program designed to rebuild the United States' manufacturing base. The initiative is part of Pax Silica, a multilateral effort aimed at securing trusted global supply chains for critical next-generation technologies.

Vice President JD Vance is scheduled to headline the launch event at the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace. The program aims to convert recent industrial investments into employment by training entrepreneurs, engineers, technicians, and industrial leaders. Federal projections suggest that domestic industrial operations will require approximately 3.8 million skilled workers by 2033 in sectors such as semiconductors, defense, and energy.

Foundry School operates through an academic partnership with Stanford University, which developed the core advanced manufacturing curriculum. The program will include 17 sessions across eight university campuses, including Arizona State University, Georgia Tech, Ohio State, Penn State, the University of Cincinnati, the University of Kansas, and Vanderbilt. Instruction will be provided by founders and CEOs from advanced manufacturing firms.
