Britishvolt has announced a strategic partnership with Northumberland College and the Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre to provide the skills needed for its gigafactory in the North East.
The firm, which is bringing its £1.7bn plant to the Northumberland coast, says it will work with the college and the centre to nurture manufacturing associates and technicians through apprenticeship training.
Northumberland College will also support BV FutureGen Foundation, the charity created by Britishvolt which aims to help build a better future for local communities through providing entry level, gateway qualifications into STEM and renewables employment.
