The green transition, coupled with electrification, is threatened by a skills shortage as an increasing number of companies vie for the same expertise. How can the electronics industry ensure a sustainable talent supply and future-proof the appeal to tomorrow’s Young Professionals? On the Electronics Stage, Hesam Kangarlou, Business Area Manager in Technology at Academic Work, shares valuable insights into the skills shortage in the talent market and what employers need to prioritize for success
Hesam Kangarlou is currently the Business Area Manager in Technology at Academic Work, with national growth responsibility for the business area across the company’s offices from north to south. For the past 8 years, Hesam has been exclusively working in various ways to support the demand for engineering expertise in the Swedish business sector. During this time, Hesam has met with thousands of technology companies, tech managers, tech recruiters, and engineers. Along the journey, he has gathered valuable insights into the challenges Sweden faces and what we can do differently to stay in line with the expected development of the technology sector, especially in the green transition and electrification. A central concern for Hesam is how we can meet the insatiable need for technical competence in a landscape where the skills shortage in the job market has never been greater.
