Are you looking to grow your skills and be part of something impactful? The Battery Workforce Challenge (BWC) offers a chance to develop expertise in battery engineering, manufacturing, and much more. This competition is managed by Argonne National Laboratory and backed by Stellantis. It prepares students to lead in advanced vehicle technology.
