Skills Showcase - Developing skills for the battery innovation workforce

About the event

As growth and investment remain strong within the UK battery supply chain, it is essential that businesses remain competitive through a highly skilled workforce.

Identifying and attending the right training to remain innovative is becoming more and more critical. To help address the skills gaps across the country, the Faraday Battery Challenge has invested in 6 cutting edge battery skills and manufacture projects from Levels 2 to 8 which are open and ready for learners.
