Microtec Academy launches nationwide survey on microelectronics skills needs

The Microtec Academy, a national educational academy for microelectronics and microsystem technology funded by the Federal Ministry for Research, Technology and Space, is conducting its second nationwide survey in Germany to assess qualification needs within the industry.

The study aims to capture the specific training requirements of the sector as rapid technological shifts and evolving development processes change the demands placed on skilled workers. The findings will be used to align the Academy’s educational offerings more closely with the practical, future-oriented needs of organizations, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises.

The survey targets individuals responsible for personnel development, such as management, technical leads, and HR professionals. It focuses specifically on technical and technology-related roles, including engineers, technicians, and apprentices, rather than administrative or commercial staff. Participation is open until September 15, 2026.
