Managed by Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), the Battery Workforce Challenge Program will feature regional workforce training hubs nationwide that will step into critical skill gaps and identify areas to reskill and upskill vocational and transitional workers for in-demand EV and battery manufacturing jobs. "The Battery Workforce Challenge Program creates an ecosystem of universities, community colleges, and vocational and secondary schools as well as government, industry, labor, and non-profit partners," said Jeff Marootian, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy at DOE. "This coalition has the exact reach and experience to educate and train next-generation technicians, electricians, and others skilled in STEM for fulfilling careers across the battery and electric vehicle value chain." | | | |
