SOUTHFIELD, MI—As the auto industry’s transition to electrification accelerates, workers need to develop new skillsets. To address the issue, SME has developed an Electric Vehicle Fundamental certification program to help educate people involved with the production and maintenance of electric cars.
SME obtained input from industrial and academic experts to develop a Body of Knowledge that encompasses the technologies, job roles, competencies and skills critical to vehicle electrification. The training roadmap takes learners through broader manufacturing areas that are foundational to automotive assembly, electric vehicle production and e-mobility manufacturing.
