WHY BATTERY EDUCATION MATTERS?
Bridging the
skills gap_
With batteries playing a tremendous role in the energy transition, it is essential to develop a highly skilled workforce along the entire battery value chain.
The European Battery Alliance estimates the battery workforce to reach around 800,000 by 2025. The sector however lacks adequate battery-focused training and B.A hopes to address the skills gap.
