Battery Workforce Skills and Training Grants Program
Powering Australia Battery Workforce Skills & Training (BWST) Grants Program is designed to accelerate Australia's battery value-chain capabilities and support the development of a skilled, safety-focused, and future-ready workforce.
Across the sector, demand for battery skills is surpassing supply in roles like battery system design, installation, integration, safe handling, and recycling. Australia's energy transition depends on building a skilled workforce in these critical areas.
The $1.6 million BWST program offers two funding streams:
- Training Grants: for businesses seeking to co-invest to upskill staff and establish a pipeline of skilled workers for the battery sector. Guidelines
- Training Materials Development Grants: to support organisations developing training resources for emerging battery technologies. Guidelines
If your organisation operates within, or is preparing to join, the battery value chain, this is your opportunity to build capability, improve safety, and contribute to a national skills pipeline for the benefit of the entire sector. BWST Grants will be available through to the end of 2027.
