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, professional 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.

Talent War: How can Europe avoid being left behind?
The shortage of skilled professionals is a critical issue for European stakeholders to ensure the competitiveness of the microelectronics sector. To tackle this challenge we need hard data – how many people will companies need to recruit in the coming years? Is the industry attracting enough young talent? These and many more questions will be discussed in our upcoming webinar, Talent War, on February 16.
