SWCS PBIAA is excited to announce fully funded places on a variety of semiconductor short courses in partnership with the Cardiff University Professional Development Unit. These online and in person courses, created by Cardiff University academics in collaboration with industry partners from the CSconnected cluster, are ideal for those:
- working in the semiconductor sector who wish to up-skill their knowledge of compound semiconductor electronics
- employees of the CSconnected cluster and their supply chain partners
- people who are looking to re-train into the semiconductor/ compound semiconductor sector
- A-level and undergraduate level students studying science subjects who are potentially interested in a career in the semiconductor/ compound semiconductor sector
- who supporting the sector – such as public sector employees, secondary school/ FE College teachers/ careers advisors/ youth influencers
