TANNER, AL—Alabama is building a state-of-the-art training center here to equip workers with the skills needed for electric vehicle production. The 40,000-square-foot facility will be located at the Alabama Robotics Technology Park near Huntsville, which is operated by Alabama Industrial Development Training (AIDT), a division of the Alabama Department of Commerce.
“Alabama’s auto industry has long been a powerhouse for our economy, and the new EV Technology Center shows our commitment to keeping that engine running strong,” says Ellen McNair, secretary of the Alabama Department of Commerce. “As the industry shifts to electric vehicles, we’re investing in our workforce to ensure they have the next-level skills needed to thrive in this new era of automotive manufacturing.”
“This new facility gives us an opportunity to continue to provide invaluable training resources to our automotive manufacturers and suppliers during this evolutionary conversion from internal combustion engine vehicles to hybrid and all-electric vehicles through emerging technologies,” adds Kevin Turner, deputy director of AIDT. “The collaboration and efforts of industry and technical partners enables us to deliver industry-driven resources for the EV manufacturing ecosystem.”
