National Battery Training & Skills Academy

国家电池培训与技能学院(NBTSA)是纽卡斯尔大学和东北理工学院(NE IoT)负责人新学院达勒姆(New College Durham)的合作项目。Ne IoT和这一合作伙伴关系旨在提供针对L2和L3的确定的培训和技能开发，这些培训和技能开发可以整合到不断增长的区域电气化生态系统中，并可以作为通向CPD、学位学徒和最高L8认证的门户。我们的创新教育和技能培训方法基于：*成熟的行业网络和技能要求知识*现有的技能和培训交付方面的专业知识*最大限度地利用区域资产：现有的和计划的*在区域内和可能在全国范围内托管的现代“轮辐式”模式*作为更广泛的电气化园区的组成部分，继续在东北地区进行英国千兆工厂投资和相关的供应链发展，创造了对劳动力的迫切需求和持续的职业发展。根据产品、化学、能量密度、制造自动化水平和其他变量的不同，10GWh电池制造厂至少需要800至1000名熟练员工。该地区现有2GWh的现有制造能力和12GWh的计划制造能力，英国任何地区现有的教育提供和设施都不可能满足当前和预测的需求。纽卡斯尔大学主办了东北电池联盟(NEBA)，使行业结盟并与教育提供商、地方当局和其他相关组织进行沟通。该大学委托进行独立研究，与关键的地区性产业合作伙伴、弹射器和国家组织合作。该项目旨在应对在电池制造和电池技术研究领域支持区域劳动力发展的挑战。该项目将通过电气化和可持续先进制造研究所(IESAM)加强现有的电气化教育、技能和研究活动，通过推动电气革命工业化中心(DER-IC)和最重要的电气化工艺创新中心(EPIC)来促进制造工艺的开发。将NBTSA作为这套教育、培训和研究的一部分，降低了该项目的风险，并使其能够利用其他地区/大学的投资和资产。

The National Battery Training & Skills Academy (NBTSA) is a collaboration project between Newcastle University and New College Durham, North East Institution of Technology (NE IoT) lead. NE IoT and this partnership is aligned to deliver identified training and skills development targeted at L2 and L3 which can be integrated within the growing regional electrification ecosystem and can function as a gateway to CPD, Degree Apprenticeships, and accreditation up to L8\.Our innovative approach to education and skills training is based on:* Established industry networks and knowledge of skills requirements* Existing expertise in skills and training delivery* Maximising regional assets: existing and planned* A modern 'Hub and Spoke' model, hosted regionally and potentially nationally* Being an integral part of a wider electrification campusContinuing UK Gigafactory investment in the NE region and associated supply chain development creates an acute need for workforce training, reskilling, and continuing professional development. Depending on product, chemistry, energy density, manufacturing automation levels and other variables a 10GWh battery manufacturing plant requires a minimum estimate of 800 to 1,000 skilled staff. With 2GWh existing and 12GWh planned manufacturing capacity in the region, it is impossible that existing educational provision and facilities in any region of the UK can meet the current and projected demand.Newcastle University host the North East Battery Alliance (NEBA) enabling industrial alignment and communication with educational providers, local authorities, and other connected organisations. The university has commissioned independent research, engaged with key regional industrial partners, catapults and national organisations. This project has been designed as a response to the challenge of supporting regional workforce development in battery manufacturing and battery technology research.This project will augment existing electrification education, skills and research initiatives such as Power Electronics Machines and Drives (PEMD) through the Institute of Electrification and Sustainable Advanced Manufacturing (IESAM), manufacturing process development, through Driving the Electric Revolution Industrialisation Centre (DER-IC), and the overarching Electrification Process Innovation Centre (EPIC). The inclusion of the NBTSA as part of this suite of education, training and research de-risks the project and enables it to leverage other regional/university investment and assets.
