University College Birmingham (UCB) has launched the Battery Manufacturing Skills Pathway (B-MSP), the first such fully accredited program in the UK. The B-MSP has been developed to create a talent pipeline that will sustain the nation’s battery value chain across sectors such as automotive, marine, defense, portable electronics and construction, according to a post published on the university website. From the classroom to the factory, the B-MSP offers an accessible pathway into battery technology roles, opening doors to career returners, career changers and those from non-STEM backgrounds.
This structured program equips trainees with nationally recognized qualifications that employers trust and through practical and immersive experiences, they’ll develop the confidence and qualification to effectively contribute from day one, the post said. For businesses, the B-MSP represents training that has been led and shaped by industry to fill the increasing skills gap in battery manufacturing. This City & Guilds accredited program has been designed to provide a flexible and scalable training solution for organizations of any size.
