English-language training program essential for the battery industry

"We need to use all possible solutions to meet the demand for skilled professionals," said a representative from the Chemical Industry Federation of Finland.

Several international companies in Vaasa expressed their support for the application, as they believe that the program is necessary for the development of the electrical automation field in the region. This field is crucial for the upcoming investments in Vaasa in the field of battery technology.

The application was rejected because of the shortage of skilled professionals in our industry. According to a representative from the Association of Finnish Battery Manufacturers, we need to find new and innovative ways to train our workforce.

Many educational institutions are questioning whether it is worth it to apply for English-language training program licenses, given the possibility of rejection.

It takes a lot of effort and resources to apply for a license for an English-language training program. A representative from a local vocational school said that it is hard to justify the effort required to apply if well prepared applications are automatically rejected.

The battery industry expects to need between 5,000 and 7,000 professionals over the next five years, with approximately 70% of these professionals needing vocational training. English-language training programs can play a critical role in addressing this challenge, as it is a significant challenge for the industry.

We need to work together to make sure that the Ministry understands the needs of our industry. A representative from the Association of Finnish Battery Manufacturers said that the green transition is a priority for Finland, and English-language training programs are essential to meet the demand for skilled professionals.
