Workforce development for Canada’s electric vehicle transition

Skill gaps and recommendations across key sectors

The transition to electric mobility is accelerating, but workforce readiness remains a critical barrier in Canada. While electric vehicles (EV) are less complex than internal combustion engine vehicles (ICE), some EV system interactions may require specialized skills in high-voltage electrical safety, electrical diagnostics, and infrastructure deployment. Current gaps in technical training, certification, and industry-academia collaboration risk slowing adoption and increasing operational challenges.
