The Battery Workforce Framework is a new, open-access resource designed to make battery careers understandable, navigable, and accessible — for students, workers, educators, employers, and policymakers alike.
We’re building a shared language for the battery workforce:
one that clearly shows what jobs exist, what skills they require, and how people can grow over time.
Â
An initiative in collaboration with the NAATBatt Workforce Development Committee
Why the Battery Workforce Framework exists
Across the battery ecosystem — from materials and cell manufacturing to safety, data, recycling, and grid storage — people ask the same questions:
-
What jobs are actually available in the battery industry?
-
What skills and education do I need to get there?
-
How do I move from technician to engineer — or from lab to leadership?
-
How do we align training programs with real industry needs?
Right now, answers are scattered across PDFs, job postings, and informal networks.
The Battery Workforce Framework brings it all together — in one place.

The Battery Workforce Framework is being developed in collaboration with industry, educators, and workforce stakeholders to ensure it reflects real jobs, real skills, and real career progression — not abstract job titles or outdated assumptions.
It is designed as a neutral, open-access public resource, intended to complement — not replace — existing workforce initiatives.
This effort aligns closely with the mission of national industry groups working to clarify battery career pathways and skill requirements across the value chain
