With a combined turnover of \u20ac2.9 billion over the last four quarters, Estonia\u2019s electronics industry is encouraging young people to pursue studies related to electronics, highlighting the exciting and well-paid career opportunities that will help drive Estonia\u2019s next leap in development.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThe electronics industry is developing rapidly. Companies are investing heavily in new technologies, and demand has increased significantly, particularly due to the growing needs of the defence sector. At the same time, attracting new top specialists is equally important, as Estonia\u2019s development and manufacturing companies offer outstanding opportunities for engineers to apply their knowledge in practice. This is work that is becoming increasingly important over time, and it is also the reason behind our new \u2018Study Electronics!\u2019 campaign,\u201d said Arno Kolk, CEO of the Estonian Electronics Industries Association.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Kolk, there is a constant shortage of engineers, while studying electronics gives young people the keys to a wide range of opportunities. In addition to international career prospects and rewarding work, the electronics industry offers the chance to contribute to innovative solutions and quite literally help solve and prevent global challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf Estonia wants to become a competitive industrial country, investments in technology alone are not enough \u2014 the key factor will be the people who create and develop these solutions. Together with the Estonian Electronics Industries Association, we see education playing a critical role here. Both at Incap and across the sector more broadly, the shortage of qualified specialists and engineers remains a challenge. That is why it is important to change outdated perceptions of industry and introduce young people to what manufacturing really offers \u2014 an international work environment, the opportunity to contribute to products and solutions used around the world, and work where your contribution has a clear and practical impact,\u201d said Otto Pukk, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Estonian Electronics Industries Association and President of Incap Corporation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough much of today\u2019s technology discussion focuses on artificial intelligence and software, even the smartest solutions still rely on strong electronics. In many cases, electronics is the most intelligent and critical part of the entire product. At Ericsson\u2019s Tallinn development and manufacturing site, we produce next-generation 5G connectivity solutions that are used all over the world. This means that electronics skills give young people the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology and contribute to solutions whose impact reaches far beyond Estonia. We highly value people who are passionate about technology, enjoy experimenting with electronics and are excited by innovative robotics solutions. By participating in the \u2018Study Electronics!\u2019 campaign, we want to inspire young people, introduce real career stories and show how diverse this field truly is,\u201d said Sirli M\u00e4nniksaar, Head of Ericsson Estonia.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cStudy Electronics!\u201d is a campaign led by the Estonian Electronics Industries Association in cooperation with vocational schools, universities and companies, with the aim of inspiring young people to consider a future in the electronics sector.<\/span><\/p>\n

The campaign is supported by Tartu Vocational College VOCO, Techno TLN, Ida-Viru Vocational Education Centre COSMOS, TalTech, the University of Tartu, Rantelon, GPV Estonia, Ericsson Estonia, Incap and Ouman.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Estonian Electronics Industries Association is a modern international network bringing together experienced Estonian electronics manufacturers, start-ups and international electronics companies. The association connects different branches of Estonian industry and supports innovation in the electronics sector to help create solutions that shape the society of the future. The association has more than 80 member organisations covering the entire electronics value chain, including product development, manufacturing, repair and recycling, logistics, components, consumables and equipment supply, as well as education, professional training and recruitment services.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":26504,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/estonianelectronics.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26506","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/estonianelectronics.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/estonianelectronics.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/estonianelectronics.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/estonianelectronics.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26506"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/estonianelectronics.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26506\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26508,"href":"https:\/\/estonianelectronics.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26506\/revisions\/26508"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/estonianelectronics.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26504"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/estonianelectronics.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/estonianelectronics.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26506"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/estonianelectronics.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
