What a Year for Workforce Innovation in Mississippi
Several members of the #AccelerateMS team, along with colleagues from Haley Barbour Center for Manufacturing Excellence, recently had the unique opportunity to tour Blue Oval City—Ford Motor Company’s cutting-edge electric vehicle and battery manufacturing campus located in Stanton, Tennessee.
As part of the visit, the team explored the new BlueOval SK (BOSK) battery plant, a state-of-the-art facility spanning 4.7 million square feet with a 45-gigawatt-hour capacity. This advanced plant is a critical component of Ford’s strategy to support its next-generation electric vehicle programs.
During the tour, the group walked through each stage of the battery production process, including electrode production, cell assembly, cell formation, and module assembly. They also had valuable discussions with members of the BOSK site leadership team, who shared insights into the plant’s workforce development strategies and the challenges they anticipate as the facility moves toward full ramp-up and production over the next year.
