Agreement No 23-203058
<br /> manufacturing operations here in Illinois offering the industry's largest range of capacity,spanning 2kw to 30kw
<br /> and 24V to 850V—and providing innovative solutions for automotive and heavy-duty applications.
<br /> To address challenges around workforce development,the Grantee and its partners in this project will help to
<br /> revolutionize a new model for education. In partnership with Richland Community College,and T/CCI's
<br /> connectivity with both the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Northern Illinois University,the EV
<br /> Training Academy will be located on-site at the T/CCI facility creating stackable credentials and certificates,as well
<br /> as STEM Pathway and apprenticeship programs that will set the stage for how education,research and industry
<br /> work together to advance us faster.
<br /> As a result of co-locating manufacturing and education,the area's workforce will receive top-quality training for
<br /> the emerging Electric Vehicle(EV)market.The Grantee's partnership with T/CCI will utilize T/CCI's technical
<br /> expertise in the EV manufacturing industry while allowing the company to enhance its workforce through
<br /> educational excellence offered by Richland Community College,the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign,and
<br /> Northern Illinois University. Creating this EV Training Academy on-site at the TCCI manufacturing facility will result
<br /> in a unique education and training center that is unmatched and will set the stage for how education,research,
<br /> and industry work together to create a world-class work-ready and competitive workforce.
<br /> Grant funds will be used to cover a portion of the total costs for the demolition and expansion needs,including
<br /> architectural&design fees,removal,and abatement of asbestos,and new power distribution infrastructure,as
