The BATTERI Program
The BATTERI program provides an inclusive, hands-on learning experience designed to prepare students for careers in clean-tech battery manufacturing.
Through partnerships with Ohio State, Columbus State Community College, Wilberforce University, and industry leaders, participants will gain technical skills, entrepreneurial insights, and practical experience in cutting-edge facilities. Combining rigorous training, interdisciplinary projects, and mentorship, BATTERI will bridge the gap between academic learning and industry needs, fostering a diverse and highly skilled workforce for the rapidly growing battery and electric vehicle sectors. The BATTERI program will foster a strong sense of community through cohort-based models that encourage collaboration, belonging, and interdisciplinary learning. Through both internal and external partnerships, BATTERI participants will have access to shared resources, professional development workshops, and community engagement activities. These efforts will help ensure a supportive and enriching experience, enhancing retention and preparing students for future academic and professional success.
