The UK Electronics Skills Foundation
The UK Electronics Skills Foundation (UKESF) is an educational charity established in 2010. In the UK, Electronics, especially semiconductor design and manufacture, is a growing and strategically important sector of our economy. However, the demand for capable graduates far outstrips supply.
The UKESF works to tackle the national skills shortage in the Electronics sector in a coherent way; it operates collaboratively with major companies and leading universities. The UKESF also undertakes outreach and engagement activities to ensure that more schoolchildren are aware of Electronics and the opportunities available. This is achieved through a range of education Electronics-focused activities, projects and teacher training.
