Integrating Consumer Advisory Competencies in Battery Installation Training: Industry-Education Partnership Model

This project will develop integrated training approaches preparing installers to excel in consumer advisory roles. Working with TCE CEB and industry partners, we will create evidence-based teaching frameworks about consumer engagement skills, alongside technical curricula.Co-designing with installers, consumers, and educators, we will develop practical training modules addressing real-world advisory scenarios; pilot innovative pedagogical approaches including simulation, case studies, and co-teaching models; and work with technical trainers and consumer engagement specialists.
