Windsor-Essex’s post secondary institutions are preparing for the new LG Energy Solutions and Stellantis battery plant

The University of Windsor, St. Clair College and Invest WindsorEssex have discussed types of programs and skill sets LG Energy Solutions needs to staff its joint venture battery plant in Windsor-Essex with Stellantis. Officials from both post-secondary institutions said they expect the $5-billion plant will have a transformative impact on their programming, infrastructure and research and development opportunities.

“The university and college need to understand what skills the company is looking for to build the programming needed to support them,” said Invest WindsorEssex’s Director of Investment Attraction Joe Goncalves. “Both institutions have been proactive in preparing programming to meet the emerging technology that not only LG, but the entire automotive and manufacturing sectors, need.”
