The UK Electronics Skills Foundation is recognising 33 employers for their commitment to equipping the next generation of engineers with technical and non-technical skills needed by our industry.

The full list of companies being recognised include: Arm; AMD; Apple; Cadence Design Systems Ltd; Chess Dynamics; Codasip; Collins Aerospace; Cirrus Logic; CSA Catapult; Dukosi; EDA Solutions; Embecosm; Ensilica; IDEX Biometrics UK Ltd; Infineon Technologies UK; ITDev; Leonardo (Edinburgh); MAC Ltd; Nordson; Plextek; Qualcomm Technologies; Raspberry Pi; Renesas Electronics Europe; Renishaw; R-P-R; Sensata Technologies; Siemens EDA; STFC Microelectronics Centre; STMicroelectronics; Teledyne; Viper Innovations; Waters; ZF Automotive.
