Dr. Yeung added, “As someone who went to college in Wisconsin, I know this hiring goal is possible. I know there are brilliant minds here in Wisconsin ready to join the workforce, and I believe students will choose Foxconn, not only for the opportunities that our company offers, but also the chance to contribute to Wisconsin’s transformation as a global high-tech hub, and to do our part to further enhance the attractiveness of this wonderful State that we all call home.”
