Geopolitical uncertainties affect job openings in semiconductor design GCCs in FY25: Report
Live Events India's semiconductor design Global Capability Centers (GCCs) witnessed a 15 per cent decline in job openings in 2024-25, mainly due to ongoing geopolitical uncertainties and global supply chain disruptions, according to a report by talent solutions provider Careernet revealed open positions peaked in May 2024 with 3,760 jobs before gradually tapering off to 3,040 by January 2025 and closing the year at 3,181 in March reflects a measured slowdown of nearly 15 per cent year-on-year decline in active roles across India's top 50 semiconductor design this moderation, the overall demand for niche skills in VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration), embedded systems, and RF/analogue design remained resilient, with mid-sized GCCs demonstrating greater hiring agility, it design is a niche area with inherently less headcount compared to other tech functions, so fluctuations in hiring sentiment - especially from two or three major industry players - can significantly influence the overall semiconductor design job market."The semiconductor design GCCs in India have experienced a relatively sluggish trend in new job openings over the past few quarters. This cautious hiring environment is largely driven by ongoing geopolitical uncertainties, global supply chain disruptions, and volatility in valuations within key technology areas, such as artificial intelligence and advanced computing," Careernet CBO Neelabh Shukla told report is based on an analysis of job openings in India's top 50 semiconductor design GCCs in 2023-24 and the report revealed that the intellectual property (IP) design sub-sector focusing on developing specialised chip components and reusable design blocks continued to demonstrate strong demand, with a significant number of open positions."Despite these short-term fluctuations, we remain optimistic about the medium to long-term outlook. Increased global focus on semiconductor supply chain resilience, combined with strategic Indian government initiatives to boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing and design capabilities in India, is expected to catalyse a more robust growth trajectory for semiconductor design jobs in the coming years," Shukla added.

Geopolitical tensions to slow FY25 semiconductor design GCCs hiring: Report

Warnings of failing home care 'ignored', says union
Warnings that NHS home care in parts of the Highlands was over-stretched and failing were ignored for years before watchdogs stepped in, according to a union. The GMB said workers repeatedly warned Sutherland Care at Home Service managers that visits were being missed or cut short due to "understaffing and unrealistic schedules". Last month, the Care Inspectorate highlighted "serious and significant concerns" and said it could be closed down without immediate improvement. NHS Highland said it would work closely with staff to put actions in place as soon as possible, adding that it had begun an investigation. Care at Home offers support to people who find it difficult to manage daily routines. More stories from the Highlands and Islands News from the Highlands and Islands on BBC Sounds Lesley-Anne MacAskill, GMB Scotland organiser in the Highlands, said staff had welcomed the Care Inspectorate report. She said: "They repeatedly warned the service was understaffed, repeatedly warned their visit schedules were unrealistic, and repeatedly warned management were failing to properly communicate with staff, service users and their families. "Every one of these warnings were ignored and the failure to respond put both staff and service users at risk." She added: "It is regrettable that it needs the intervention of the Care Inspectorate to make NHS Highland listen." Ms MacAskill said the criticism of the service had distressed care workers. In their report, inspectors acknowledged it was a "difficult and distressing time" for staff at the Sutherland service, but added that their first priority was always the health and wellbeing of care users. The Care Inspectorate issued an improvement notice calling for "safe and compassionate care and treatment" by a deadline of 25 May. The regulator stressed that this included support with medication, help with skin health and mobility assistance. Inspectors also said service users needed to be kept safe and healthy by ensuring that medication was "handled and administered correctly". Steps to ensure effective governance is in place to monitor the quality of care were also requested. The Care Inspectorate said that "failure to demonstrate compliance" with the improvements could lead to the service's registration being cancelled. NHS Highland said the watchdog had highlighted a number of areas for improvement. Pamela Stott, chief officer for adult social care, said: "We recognise this may cause anxiety for service users, their families and our staff. "We have developed an action plan to ensure the recommendations outlined in the Improvement Notice are implemented as quickly as possible." NHS Highland said a review process called a Large Scale Investigation (LSI) had formally started. Ms Stott said: "We are contacting service users, families and staff to provide support and guidance, including a direct contact from within our local social work teams. "We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, and we want to reassure the local community we are working to address these concerns as soon as we can."

Fayetteville Planning Commission to decide on 7-story building on Dickson St.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — A large scale development is on the agenda to discuss at the next Fayetteville Planning Commission meeting, raising mixed responses among locals. On behalf of Trentas Ventures, McClelland Consulting Engineers presented plans for a large-scale mixed-use development on Dickson St. According to MCE, the project would consist of a seven-story building with 3 basement levels and 5 stories above ground level, including retail, parking, residential apartments and indoor and outdoor amenities. Caroline Crawford shared with the planning committee her concerns about the potential development. 'While the growth of our city is exciting, I don't think allowing a building like that is a good move,' Crawford said. She added that she believes the development would have a negative impact on the neighborhood by increasing traffic and decreasing the area quality. Crawford believes that the space should be used for something she feels is more beneficial to the community, such as restaurants. On the other hand, Fayetteville local Max Emerson expressed support to the City of Fayetteville's Senior Planner Gretchen Harrison for the seven-story building. Emerson said he believes that a mixed-use student-oriented apartment complex meets the needs of the housing crisis in Fayetteville, but has concerns about parking. 'I think in student-oriented projects, the residential parking requirements should, in fact, be lowered, as many UofA students do not have or need cars,' said Emerson. According to Emerson, increasing the supply of student-oriented housing might slow the increase or introduce a decrease in rent. The Planning Commission will hear about the Large Scale Development at the 5:30 pm meeting on Feb. 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
