Electrification Skills Network
Project details
Why are we doing this?
With emerging technologies in automotive and aerospace driven by electrification, the gap between required skills and available training is growing. Employers are struggling to fill both current and future roles, while the education system, particularly for SMEs, often seems fragmented and confusing.
About the project
The Electrification Skills Network aims to bridge the skills gap in the automotive and aerospace sectors. It aligns employers, accrediting organisations, and skills providers to create a framework that helps identify gaps and connect industry to the right training. This dynamic framework will ensure that the workforce is equipped to meet the evolving demands of electrification and future technological advancements.
Project status
The Electrification Skills Network (ESN) is dedicated to continuing to address the skills gap in electrification through active collaboration with industry and education partners.
