About Voltage
Building a skilled workforce for the battery sector
Voltage is a transformative and forward-looking Erasmus+ project that spearheads innovation in the dynamic and growing battery industry. Through strategic collaborations with partners in Finland, Germany, Portugal, Sweden and Türkiye, the project places a strong emphasis on vocational education and training (VET) to address the industry’s evolving demands. The project is co-funded by the European Union.
With a long-term vision in mind, Voltage aims to build a skilled workforce capable of driving the future of the battery sector. At the heart of the project lies the establishment of Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs). By fostering strong industry partnerships, Voltage creates a platform where knowledge, expertise, and resources converge, facilitating the seamless integration of VET into the battery sector.
The Voltage project will run from 2024 to 2028
Equips educators with the necessary skills and knowledge
A key focus of the project is the capacity building of VET providers and teachers. Through training and professional development initiatives, Voltage equips educators with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively train the next generation of battery industry professionals. In line with the green and digital transitions sweeping across Europe, Voltage plays a pivotal role in accelerating these transformative processes.
The Voltage project is organized into five interconnected work packages, each addressing a different aspect of the project: teaching and training, cooperation and partnerships, governance and funding, communication and dissemination, and project management. These packages ensure a comprehensive approach to achieving the project’s goals and facilitate efficient management and coordination of activities through their interplay.
Innovative approaches to training and collaborative platforms
The project pioneers innovative approaches to training and collaborative platforms to deliver cutting-edge education experiences. Moreover, Voltage recognizes the significance of strategic dissemination efforts to maximize its impact. By sharing best practices, success stories, and project outcomes, the project aims to inspire stakeholders, policymakers, and the wider community. Ultimately, Voltage envisions a future where regional and transnational collaboration in the battery industry thrives, powered by a skilled and knowledgeable VET workforce.
By embracing the opportunities presented by the green and digital transitions, the project contributes long-term to new job opportunities, stimulates economic growth, and contributes to the overall sustainable development of Europe.
