Chairman of the Board of HansaMatrix Ventspils Ilmārs Osmanis:
– We started to build the Ventspils Electronics Factory in 2005, and I wondered: “Who would work in the factory?” In response to this question the city even created a new engineering department in the Ventspils University College, Faculty of Information Technology, and later also the Electronic technician program in the North Kurzeme Vocational Education Competence Center. Due to their skills and proximity, the graduates of these programs are still in high demand.
