We believe in the power of community and education to create lasting change, not only within our industry but also in the world at large. By fostering curiosity and creativity through science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) initiatives and career development programs, we are investing in the future workforce that will lead innovations in battery metals and clean energy alternatives. ABTC partners with university and community programs to develop education-to-employment pathways for students interested in manufacturing, chemistry, materials science, business, and more. Our long-term collaboration with the University of Nevada, Reno draws on campus facilities, faculty expertise, and student talent to support hands-on learning and workforce development.
On-Campus Collaboration & Research
Since March 2021, our technology team has proudly worked out of the University’s National Center for Applied Research (NCAR) incubator facilities, leveraging advanced equipment and collaborative research to accelerate technology development and provide students with real-world experience. One of our goals is to establish a workforce pipeline for University students, where education, research, and hands-on experience intersect to develop the skills needed for tomorrow’s energy sector. These partnerships produce trained graduates who have gone on to join the industry and, in some cases, join ABTC in full-time roles after internships or cooperative programs.
Investing in Future Workforce Development
ABTC runs an ongoing internship program in collaboration with university partners, offering internships in R&D, chemical processing, and data science, among other areas. Interns gain workplace experience, mentorship, and exposure to industrial operations; many of our interns have transitioned into full-time positions. We plan to continue expanding internship and co-op opportunities yearly as our company continues to grow.
Our education and workforce programs are purpose-built to prepare students for industry careers and to provide local communities with direct access to training and employment opportunities that support regional economic growth and a reliable domestic supply chain. As we continue to grow, we are excited to expand our internship opportunities, further empowering students to enter the burgeoning battery materials industry.
