Earlier this month, we kicked off the season of gratitude with a little celebration! ?? The event was made even more special with a delicious spread catered by Famous Dave's, featuring their signature smoked turkey and a variety of mouth-watering dishes. ?? It was a fantastic way to come together, enjoy great food, and celebrate our amazing staff. ?? A big THANK YOU to everyone who makes Polar a great place to work. Your commitment and teamwork are what sets us apart! #PolarSemiconductor #EmployeeAppreciation #Grateful #Thankful #GivingThanks #Thanksgiving #TurkeyDay #SeasonOfGratitude #PolarPride

Earlier this month, Polar's Adam Borgerding and Seagate’s Dwight Tole teamed up to inspire the next generation of innovators at Jefferson and Kennedy High Schools in Bloomington. ?? Together, they introduced students to the exciting world of semiconductors—what they are, how they’re made, and why this field offers such a fascinating and rewarding career path. A huge thank you to Bloomington Public Schools for allowing us to speak to their bright young minds. While Polar and Seagate Technology may be competitors, we are proud to set that all aside for the greater good—fostering excitement for the future of the semiconductor industry! ?? #PolarSemiconductor #Seagate #Semiconductors #SemiconductorIndustry #STEM #STEMEducation #FutureLeaders

Last week, Polar President & COO, Surya Iyer, had the honor of attending the Governors Apprenticeship Innovation Summit in Phoenix, Arizona, as part of his role as Chair of the Minnesota Governor’s Workforce Development Board (GWDB). Surya was joined by Katie McClelland, Director of the GWDB and Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED), to represent Minnesota in this national conversation. The Summit, held during National Apprenticeship Week, brought together Governors’ advisors, employers, federal partners, and other stakeholders to share best practices for expanding apprenticeship programs in priority industries like #manufacturing, #healthcare, and #technology. At Polar, we understand the critical role apprenticeships play in building a skilled workforce and fostering economic growth. We’re proud to collaborate with leaders at events like this to help shape the future of workforce development. A heartfelt thank you to the event organizers for creating such a valuable forum for dialogue and innovation! ?? #PolarSemiconductor #WorkforceDevelopment #Apprenticeships #MNWorkforce #GWDB #NAW2024 #DecadeOfNAW #ApprenticeshipUSA #Innovation

Yesterday, we had a blast at the Fall 2024 Computer Science Community Engagement Event at Olson Middle School in Minneapolis! ?? It was a joy to see the students’ curiosity in action during our activity and to connect with families passionate about computer science. From hands-on coding to exploring real-world tech applications, the enthusiasm in the room was contagious. ?? A huge thank you to the amazing organizers, schools, and community partners for bringing this inspiring event to life. Events like this remind us of the power of collaboration and education in shaping the next generation of innovators. #PolarSemiconductor #ComputerScience #CSCommunity #CommunityEngagement #TechForGood #InspiringInnovation

We had an incredible time at The Works Museum for the Family Engineering Day event on Saturday, hosted in partnership with the City of Lakes Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. Our volunteers enjoyed teaching the future engineers how to make these adorable little "buzz bots." ?? Seeing the excitement on their faces as they explored and learned was the highlight of the day! A huge thank you to The Works Museum and the City of Lakes Chapter of Jack and Jill of America for organizing such an impactful event and for their commitment to fostering inclusive STEM education. Your efforts are helping to build a diverse pipeline of talent and create a brighter future for all! #PolarSemiconductor #FamilyEngineeringDay #STEM #STEMEducation #TheWorksMuseum #FutureEngineers #CommunityEngagement

?? This day is a reminder of the incredible impact the semiconductor industry has on our daily lives—from powering life-saving medical devices to advancing national security and innovation. We're proud to be a key player in this transformative industry and grateful for the talent and dedication of our team and partners. We also want to take this opportunity to highlight the remarkable work of the MN CHIPS Coalition, which is fostering collaboration and driving innovation right here in the heart of Minnesota. Together, we’re committed to shaping the future, supporting workforce development, and strengthening America’s leadership in semiconductor manufacturing.
