The EV Workforce Portal is Michigan’s one-stop platform for locating, comparing, and sharing training programs, funding opportunities, and workforce development resources in the state’s growing EV and advanced mobility sector. Developed by the University of Michigan’s Electric Vehicle Center in collaboration with stakeholders across Michigan, the portal streamlines access to training, funding, and workforce tools for employers and partners. To learn more or get involved, contact us at [email protected].

This portal is designed for business owners, HR leaders, and workforce professionals in the EV manufacturing and supply sectors, as well as training providers, economic development professionals, and funders seeking a centralized resource to support EV workforce growth.

While job seekers may find certain training programs or events useful, the portal does not currently focus on job postings or individual career pathways. For job opportunities and comprehensive career resources, visit Pure Michigan Talent Connect (https://www.mitalent.org/), a platform connecting Michigan’s job seekers with employers and supporting organizations across the state.
