Abstract:The Battery Workforce Challenge is a new three-year student competition that will kick off in Fall 2023
and will challenge universities and vocational schools from across North
America to design, build, test, and integrate an advanced EV battery pack into
a Stellantis vehicle. Sponsored by Argonne National Laboratory, U.S. Department of Energy, Stellantis and other government and industry sponsors, UM-Dearborn will team up with Henry Ford College to execute the competition requirements, helping to prepare a diverse workforce for future battery engineering and manufacturing careers. Students will also learn valuable project management, communications, teamwork and problem-solving skills that will provide them an unparalleled educational experience and ready them for careers in the battery industry. The competition holds diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) as a top priority and will integrate initiatives throughout all aspects of this program and will establish program requirements that foster a diverse team environment.
