European Chips Skills Academy
Specialists for microelectronics
As a follow-up to the METIS project, the European Chips Skills (ECS) Academy will establish an industrial university network offering scholarships, apprenticeships, access to laboratory facilities, vocational training and online courses. The ECS Academy Initiative responds to current industry challenges with a groundbreaking, comprehensive initiative designed to strengthen innovation and resilience in the microelectronics industry. It will bridge the gap between general education and industry and address the acute shortage of skilled workers and talent in Europe. The ESC Academy will implement the Pact for Skills, create an innovative decentralized academy and develop modern training modules and curricula.
