Short term impact:

• Analysis of the overall battery sector on its strengths and weaknesses. Including its interconnections with individual sub-sectors (stationary and other industrial battery applications, mobile battery applications); the future direction of the sector viewed through the evolution of technology; future skills need, recycling and second use.

• Involving all levels of stakeholders in the sector, along the value chain (raw materials and processing, cell components and manufacturing, battery and battery pack manufacturing, recycling and second use - and all that horizontally supported in each step by research and development).

• Training preparations based on the needs of the sector - including skills needs and needs of the methods used for the trainings.

• Creation of knowledge and skills to start new VET and high degree programs within the sector, to supply the industry with skilled workforce.

• Finally, development of knowledge and skills from VET providers' staff, by working together with companies and universities.

   

Long term impact:

• The project will allow the development of new training programmes for the workforce already working in the battery sector, as well as to newcomers.

• Integration of new curricula and qualifications in the national frameworks.

• The increased investment in this sector will impact the expected number of new students.

• Improvement of the image, status and attractiveness of VET schools participating.

• The project will create a sustainable partnership in this emerging economic sector.

• Finally, enabling EU-wide recognition of specific skills/job role achievements in the sectoral employment market in member countries. This will have direct impact on possible mobility of workers/future workers in the sector. Harmonisation of job role/skills definitions on EU level, under umbrella for recognition.
