Powering the UK Battery Workforce: Aligning Industry, Innovation and Skills Delivery

⚡The transition to electrification is accelerating rapidly — and workforce capability must scale at the same pace as industrial investment.

The Electrification Skills Network (ESN) is convening a focused forum bringing together leaders from industry, innovation, policy and delivery to explore:

How do we ensure skills development moves at the speed of battery investment and manufacturing transformation?

Speakers include:

  • Rebecca Smith, Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders

  • Dr Valentina Gentili, Battery Innovation Programme

  • Andrew Proud, Skills England

  • Lois Warne & Sharon Bennett, National Battery Training and Skills Academy

Together, we will explore:

  • The scale and urgency of the UK’s battery and vehicle manufacturing transition

  • How national innovation infrastructure is supporting capability build

  • The introduction of Apprenticeship Units as a more agile reskilling mechanism

  • What real-world battery training delivery looks like in practice

Join us at this event by booking here and engage with a conversation focused on pace, alignment and implementation.
