Battery Workforce Initiative

The Battery Workforce Initiative (BWI), of which WAI is a partner, developed in coordination with the U.S. Department of Labor, the national guideline standards (NGS) for battery machine operator and battery machine repair technician provide detailed lists of the skill requirements and competencies for workers in advanced battery manufacturing facilities. Employers, joint labor-management organizations, educators and others may use this framework to design and implement job training programs that are responsive to industry's needs for workers, both entry-level and incumbent, who wish to upgrade their skills and knowledge.
