January Edition - Electrification Connect ??
Welcome back to our monthly newsletter, Electrification Connect, which is designed for the entire community.
Knowledge is key
Professor Petar Igic explains why the PEMD Body of Knowledge is about to deliver even more impact, with the launch of two new areas aimed at the next generation.?
Exciting news! The PEMD Body of Knowledge (BoK) is evolving, bringing even more impact to the next generation. With the addition of Maths and Physics, we’ve introduced 103 new lower-level skills to guide students, educators, and career advisers toward rewarding futures in power electronics, machines, and drives.
From supporting school teachers and pupils in years 10–13 to providing a roadmap for careers in electrification, these updates make navigating PEMD pathways easier than ever. Plus, our new Curiosity Box competition is helping schools bring STEM learning to life!
With 53 knowledge areas and over 400 skills, the BoK is already shaping the future of electrification careers. But we’re just getting started! Join us in building this groundbreaking resource - explore, engage, and help shape the skills of tomorrow.
