– 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.
