SkillFusion, Edtunity, and Virginia Clean Cities Partner on EV

The education and certification program, funded through an Electrify America investment to Edtunity, will cover the cost for training veterans on the skills needed to support the growing EV charging network and unlock new career opportunities.
Detroit, MI - SkillFusion [https://skillfusion.com/], an industry-first software platform for electric vehicle service equipment (EVSE) operations and maintenance (O&M) providers, has announced a partnership with the Edtunity Institute [https://www.edtunity.org/] and Virginia Clean Cities [https://vacleancities.org/] to provide free EV charger technician credentialing for veterans, members of the National Guard, or military reservists. Individuals will have access to SkillFusion's first-of-its-kind EVSE skill enhancement and certification. The program provides non-electricians with the needed skills and certifications to carry out specific technical work on EV chargers, such as servicing communication and networking systems.

"Nearly a million service members transition out of the U.S. Armed Forces every four years. While these men and women represent our country's most valuable and highly trained talent, many struggle to find rewarding careers matching their acquired skills, interests, and desired location," said Elaina Farnsworth, co-founder and CEO of SkillFusion. "Through our program, veterans will be specially trained for exciting opportunities within the EV sector and set on a path for success."

Through an investment by Electrify America announced last fall [https://media.electrifyamerica.com/en-us/releases/228], Edtunity working with partners will use the investment toward tuition to train veterans. To date, 50 veterans have started training to receive their certification.

"Electrify America is committed to supporting the workforce of the future through our investments in STEM education and training," said Robert Barrosa, president and CEO of Electrify America. "Our investment in organizations like Edtunity will help veterans receive technical training and job placement while helping ensure the success of the industry."

SkillFusion's groundbreaking credentialing program provides charger-agnostic skill enhancement and certification covering the full spectrum of skills needed to support EV charger operations. SkillFusion's skill enhancement programs will help people develop a valuable skill set, earn an industry-certified credential, and enhance their professional credibility and work readiness. Once a veteran receives their credential, Edtunity Institute will work towards placing students with service jobs in their area.

"As a non-profit organization, we are extremely gratefulfor grant opportunities such as this that allow Edtunity to expand our reach and contribute to the community in a positive and impactful way," said Edtunity Founder and CEO Jimmie L. White. "Our partnership with SkillFusion allows us to offer a fully comprehensive curriculumto veterans and individuals who want to transition into the rapidly growing EV market."

This 20-hour credentialing program signies that an individual possesses the necessary foundational understanding of electric vehicle infrastructure and maintenance requirements including the ecosystem, communication technologies, software, applications, security, safety, and more - providing an opportunity for employment in diagnostics, non-electrical technical support, and as a critical liaison to electricians, electrical contractors, and EVSE installation program managers.
