Siemens to invest million to train US EV charger technicians

The Siemens Foundation has unveiled a significant commitment of $30 million over the next decade towards workforce development in the United States, with a particular focus on the rapidly expanding electric vehicle (EV) charging sector. This sector is projected to require tens of thousands of skilled workers in the coming years.

David Etzwiler, CEO of the Siemens Foundation, the non-profit arm of the renowned German technology conglomerate Siemens, emphasized the immediate and substantial need for a skilled workforce in the electric vehicle charging industry. "The number of jobs needed there is tremendous and it's immediate," said Etzwiler.

The initiative is set to commence with fast-track training programs in Michigan and North Carolina. Its overarching goal is to cultivate a diverse and inclusive workforce with the capability to construct, install, and maintain the infrastructure necessary to meet the growing demand for electric vehicles. This includes everything from residential chargers to serving the requirements of large commercial fleets.

The Siemens Foundation has joined forces with the North Carolina Business Committee for Education and the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program (EVITP) based in Michigan to execute this ambitious workforce development project.

This investment signifies a significant step towards bolstering the United States' position in the electric vehicle charging sector and aligns with broader efforts to promote sustainable transportation solutions.
