Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year
From the UK Electronics Skills Foundation
As we wrap up another fantastic year, I wanted to extend my thanks to all our supporters. With your help we have:
- Delivered an outreach programme for 50 schools in Wales
- Inspired 400 girls at our Girls into Electronics events throughout the UK
- Sourced 500 talented and motivated undergraduates for our Scholarship Scheme, and
- Championed Electronics and semiconductors skills at events, conferences and policy meetings.
Next year, we'll be celebrating 15 years of the UK Electronics Skills Foundation (UKESF). We hope you will join us in marking this milestone by getting involved in our activities to encourage lots more young people to study and pursue careers in Electronics. More details coming soon!
We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and we look forward to working with you in 2025!
With best wishes,
Stewart (CEO) and all of the UKESF Team
