The University of Michigan Economic Growth Institute and MxD today announce the public release of the Electric Vehicle Hiring Guide, an innovative guide to help U.S. manufacturers build the workforce needed to support the electric vehicle (EV) transition.
The comprehensive guide outlines 170 roles that are critical to the future of EV manufacturing. Additionally, five key roles were selected for deeper profiling, detailing the skill sets, career paths, and education and training needed to prepare American workers for these jobs.
“As the mobility sector evolves, manufacturers must proactively prepare their workforce for the jobs of tomorrow,” said Ashlee Breitner, Managing Director of the Economic Growth Institute at the University of Michigan. “The EV Hiring Guide is a timely and actionable resource that supports both companies and communities in navigating this transition.”
The EV Hiring Guide, developed with support from ManpowerGroup, engaged experts from more than 30 industry, academic, workforce development, labor union representatives to define the state and future of manufacturing’s EV workforce. The new guide builds off MxD Learn’s previously developed Hiring Guides in Cybersecurity and Digital Manufacturing.
