UK Electronics Skills Foundation

About

The UK Electronics Skills Foundation (UKESF) was founded in 2010 as the only STEM organisation in the UK devoted exclusively to Electronics and semiconductors. It undertakes skills advocacy and consultancy work on behalf of the UK’s ‘deep tech’ sector. A key aspect of the UKESF’s work is focussed on connecting Higher and Further Education, industry and secondary education. The UKESF has partnerships with 30 leading universities right across the UK. They offer a Scholarship Scheme for undergraduates, which has benefited over 900 students, preparing them for industry and providing a valuable skills pipeline to UK organisations. The Scheme received external recognition, winning a Princess Royal Training Award in both 2022 and 2025. In support of its charitable purpose, the UKESF has an extensive programme of schools’ outreach and engagement activities, these include Primary Electronics and Girls into Electronics.
