This programme is operated by the UK’s innovation agency, Innovate UK (IUK). The funding is from the Faraday Battery Challenge.

Through this competition, IUK will invest funding through the Faraday Battery Challenge. This is to develop one or more innovative battery manufacturing workforce training initiatives, supporting regional battery industry needs.

The aims of the competition are to:

• Support regional battery manufacturing industry workforce requirements.
• Develop innovative approaches to battery workforce development.
• Catalyse investment in battery workforce development.
• Develop a battery industry workforce of the right quality and quantity in the UK.
• Develop innovative approaches to outreach which will attract diverse talent to careers in the battery industry.
