Battery Boost Technical Training Program

Battery Boost is an innovative training program funded by Upskill Canada [powered by Palette Skills] and the Government of Canada. Administered by Invest WindsorEssex with delivery support from NextStar Energy, this program is designed to prepare participants for careers that include Product and Process Technicians in electric vehicle (EV) battery manufacturing. 

Through advanced Virtual Reality (VR) simulations, participants gain hands-on, job-specific training that equips them with the skills needed to thrive in Canada’s rapidly growing EV battery manufacturing sector. 

The program offers paid training, aiming to help candidates secure a permanent role as an EV battery Technician after successful completion of the program. Those who do not successfully complete the program’s requirements will have the opportunity for additional unpaid training to support a career in the EV supply chain. There are no direct costs to participate in the Battery Boost program.

Program benefits

• Paid training: Participants receive payments during the training period, with opportunities for full-time employment upon successful completion and performance.
  
• Career transition support: Job placement assistance is available for participants not directly hired after the program.
