dc.description.abstractAs society is transitioning from fossil fuels to electrified systems, the demand for bat- tery technology has surged, driving rapid growth in the battery industry. However, meeting this demand necessitates a skilled and adequate workforce. The aim of this thesis is to identify essential skills for battery cell production workers to standard- ise conditions for all entrants, regardless of their work experience and background. Additionally, it investigates workforce demands and deficiencies within the industry to develop effective training programs. The research questions explore the skills required by battery cell production work- ers, existing skill gaps, workforce challenges, and methods for upskilling. Results indicate that communication, teamwork, standardised working methods, equipment handling, and safety protocols are among the crucial skills, with identified gaps in each area. Challenges include communication barriers, industry interest, and problem-solving abilities. Insights reveal the importance of battery safety and the challenge of standardising diverse workplace practices. Effective communication, particularly while wearing personal protective equipment, emerges as a critical factor. Training programs in- tegrating cognitive, psycho-motorial, and affective learning targets, alongside ped- agogical theories such as pragmatism and andragogy, are proposed to address skill deficiencies and ensure a competent workforce. This study contributes to establishing a benchmark for the battery industry, con- tributing to the development of a competitive market, and enhancing workforce capabilities, thereby facilitating the transition to an electrified society.
