“At Micron, we believe investing in people is as important as investing in technology,” said Sanjay Mehrotra, Micron Chairman, President and CEO. “As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, this investment is about helping children build a strong foundation for future opportunity while supporting the workforce and communities that will shape U.S. semiconductor leadership. We appreciate President Trump and Secretary Bessent for establishing these accounts, which give Micron another meaningful way to support children and families as they plan for the future.”
“Trump Accounts are a transformative policy initiative that will help unlock the American Dream for millions of children. It is encouraging to see our nation's leading companies, including Micron, supporting this effort by stepping up to help children in the communities and offering matching contributions for their employees,” said U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. “Thanks to President Trump's leadership, momentum continues to build as more companies and institutions participate, helping the next generation of Americans become shareholders in the world's most vibrant capital markets.”
“I applaud Micron for this powerful commitment to Trump Accounts,” said Michael Dell, Chairman and CEO, Dell Technologies. “Micron and Dell have long enjoyed a strong business partnership, and through this initiative, we are also coming together to support children, create long-term economic opportunity and invest in America’s future.”
“Micron’s massive investment in their people and communities reflects their tremendous values and love of country and will serve as a blueprint for companies all over America,” said Brad Gerstner, Founder and Chairman of Invest America. “This is not an abstract investment — these are meaningful dollars directly into the private Trump Accounts of nearly one million kids. Trump Accounts have unlocked a transformative new type of corporate philanthropy that reconnects every child to the American Dream by making them a direct shareholder in our great American companies. We hope every company, small, medium and large, will follow their lead at any level of support.”
In addition to this initiative, Micron is investing hundreds of millions of dollars across the U.S to expand access to semiconductor careers through K-12 STEM education, semiconductor curriculum development, AI education, community college and university partnerships, registered apprenticeships and other workforce programs.
