Building EV Infrastructure Skills
Electric vehicles are becoming more common, and the need for skilled workers to install and maintain EV charging stations is growing rapidly. Communities, businesses and transportation systems need trained technicians who understand electrical systems, fiber optics, safety standards and modern charging technology.
To meet this demand, Washtenaw Community College is offering EVSE Charging Station Technician training beginning in Spring/Summer 2026. This SAE-certified program is designed for career changers, trades professionals, electricians in training, maintenance staff and telecommunications technicians seeking practical, job-ready skills.
Developed by electrical engineers and electricians, the training emphasizes hands-on, real-world learning. You will work with an experienced facilitator and gain skills connected to careers in energy, infrastructure and emerging transportation technologies. The program also aligns with WCC’s fiber optics and computer network training and can serve as a stepping stone to an IBEW apprenticeship. Flexible online learning combined with in-person lab work supports busy adults.
