Master Yoda on Speed-Dial: Inside Avnet Silica's Graduate Programme - We talk IoT #61

Today, we're exploring a topic that hits very close to home: Avnet Silica's graduate programme. I'm thrilled to be joined by two special guests — a talented young engineer – Kevin To — who's part of the current graduate intake, and Moritz Jansen, a dedicated colleague from the HR team who helps shape the program.

We delve into how the program attracts and nurtures young tech talent, the importance of hardware engineering, and strategies for bridging the gap between university education and practical industry experience. The discussion also covers the commercial side of electronic engineering and how mentorship plays a crucial role in knowledge transfer within the company.
