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. #iot #ai #graduate #engineer #wetalkiot   Summary of this week's episode: 01:05 Meet the Guests: Kevin and Moritz 02:30 Kevin's Journey into Engineering 04:30 Exploring the Graduate Program 07:18 Challenges and Knowledge Transfer 16:24 Future of IoT and Career Advice   Show notes: Kevin To: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinto19/ Moritz Jansen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/moritz-jansen-a79635252/   Learn more about Avnet Silica's Graduate Programme: https://my.avnet.com/emea/about-us/careers/young-professionals/graduates/   Listen to the "We Talk IoT "Soundtrack on: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/05MOV4OV2MH2in2txsAGtG?si=ad08112cb8d443f4 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-NvQ6VJYtE&list=PLLqgVFfZhDRVYmpEqbgajzDvGL4kACRDp   About Avnet Silica: This podcast is brought to you by Avnet Silica — the Engineers of Evolution.
