Electric and Intelligent Transportation Sector
The electric and intelligent transportation sector (TEI) is currently undergoing a transformation and is experiencing rapid growth that will accelerate over the coming years. In addition to contributing to the fight against climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the TEI ecosystem helps create jobs in forward-looking sectors and supports the development of research and innovation in cutting-edge technology.
Since the vehicle fleet in North America is expected to undergo major changes toward increased electrification and automation, by 2050 a skilled, specialized, and trained workforce will be needed to support this exponential growth!
The industrial transition toward electrification and automation of transportation requires the sector to incorporate new know-how and skills in areas such as batteries, mechatronics, and data science. To ensure market development, versatility of talent and the acquisition of new skills are required; the diagram below summarizes the key competencies demanded by the electric and intelligent transportation industry, from design to vehicle development.
Many positions will emerge and others, not yet in existence today, will be created over the coming years depending on the evolution of the TEI sector and its needs. Careers where you can actively participate in this transition to a new mobility are available to you! A career in the TEI sector means taking on stimulating challenges in engineering and development, digital technologies, and more. In addition, many workers from other sectors and industries can easily transfer their knowledge and experience to Quebec TEI organizations.
