EV Training Opportunities for Students

In addition to training depot staff, Highland can provide vocational and STEM opportunities to students.

Vocational Opportunities

For districts with existing automotive technology programs, we can work with your teams to host vocational upskilling opportunities and provide additional resources. We can provide in person training workshops on vehicles and chargers, plus guidance on careers in the EV industry to inspire students.

Highland offers additional resources for middle and high schoolers interested in EVs that can easily work into existing STEM curricula. We offer downloadable lesson plans for teachers to incorporate civic science and air quality learning modules, developed in partnership with the Children’s Environmental Literacy Foundation (CELF).
