Arts et Métiers offer training courses to educate future technicians and engineers in the field of electric batteries.
France aims to produce 2 million electric and hybrid vehicles by 2030! But to do so, it must address the shortage of operators, technicians, and engineers with skills in the manufacture, installation, and maintenance of electric batteries.
A project funded by France 2030
The Battery School, a project funded by France 2030 to the tune of €20 million, is committed to training a new generation of talent to support this industrial shift towards electric power.
Its goal? To build a complete battery value chain, from raw materials and production to repair and recycling.
The Battery School, which brings together 16 players specializing in the technological and industrial challenges of the future (companies, competitiveness clusters, laboratories, and training organizations), is coordinated by Verkor, a leading French company in the field of electric vehicle batteries with a high recyclability rate.
Two new bachelor's degrees starting in 2024
As part of this project, Arts et Métiers two new bachelor's degrees in Product Life Management and Electrical Engineering, which will be offered in Chambéry and Lille. In addition, existing training programs (master's degrees and specialized master's degrees) will be enhanced. Finally, three theses will be implemented.
A working group has been set up to define the educational content: Tom Bauer (lecturer-researcher), Sylvain Bigot (lecturer), Alain Cornier (director of the Chambéry institute), Philippe Degobert (director of the Lille campus), Anne Morel (Director of Training), Jean-Benoît Kopp (lecturer-researcher), Sébastien Fernandez (JENII project manager), and Nadège Troussier (Deputy Director General of Training).
An educational engineer and two teachers have also been recruited.
Arts et Métiers a budget of nearly €1 million to carry out this project.
