Shaping the Future of
Electronics in the U.S.
The Electronics Foundation, formerly IPC Education Foundation empowers students across
the U.S. by providing access to industryrelevant resources, training, and events.
Through partnerships with schools,
scholarships, and hands-on com petitions, the Foundation supports
workforce development and promotes
careers in electronics manufacturing
nationwide.
While soldering plays a key role in this
mission, the Foundation takes a holistic
approach – aiming to inspire, educate,
and connect the next generation of
professionals across the entire electronics industry.
A vital part of this mission is the close
collaboration with industry leaders. In
working with partners like Weller Tools,
The Electronics Foundation equip
students with cutting-edge tools and
practical skills – ensuring they are well
prepared to meet the evolving
demands of the electronics industry
both in the U.S. and globally.
Most recently, Weller donated $ 5,000
worth of advanced soldering equipment to Stephen F. Austin State University to enrich engineering workshops
that emphasize practical skills.
