Offers Skills Development Resources and Career Opportunities for European Semiconductor Workforce
The European Chips Skills Academy (ECSA), an European Union (EU)-funded initiative coordinated by SEMI Europe, today announced the official launch of its ECSA Learning Platform, a new digital hub with a full suite of training courses designed to support the development of semiconductor skills across Europe. With over 60 introductory to intermediate lessons, the platform brings together learning resources, collaboration spaces, and career opportunities to help students, researchers, and professionals build expertise in microelectronics and connect with the broader semiconductor ecosystem.
Developed with input from industry and academic partners, the platform features a Knowledge Hub with curated learning materials and courses, community spaces for collaboration, and a marketplace for jobs and internships within the semiconductor value chain. Integrated learning analytics allow students to track their progress and support continuous professional development. All courses provided by ECSA partners are made entirely free for learners, supporting equal access to opportunity across Europe.
“The launch of the ECSA Platform marks an important milestone in our mission to strengthen Europe’s semiconductor skills ecosystem and grow our workforce,” said Christopher Frieling, Director, Advocacy and Public Policy, SEMI Europe. “By bringing together education, industry insights, and career opportunities in one place, the platform helps connect talent with the skills and opportunities needed to support the future of Europe’s semiconductor industry.”
The platform is now open to students, educators, researchers, and professionals interested in exploring learning opportunities and careers within the semiconductor ecosystem. For companies and educators interested in listing employment opportunities or educational content on the ECSA Platform, please contact Victoria Cummings at vcummings@semi.org.
