The GUMBO Project: Empowering Tomorrow’s EV Workforce UPDATE**

November 12, 2025

We’re excited to share some big updates from the GUMBO project—our collaborative effort to strengthen electric vehicle (EV) education and workforce readiness across the country. See the new Curriculum outline here

Operation & Maintenance Curriculum Now Live

The Operation & Maintenance (O&M) Curriculum is officially ready to share! This foundational training resource gives students and educators the tools they need to understand, service, and sustain EV charging equipment and infrastructure. Several schools have already previewed the materials—and now it’s available for your institution too.

Peer-to-Peer Site Refreshed

We’ve refreshed the GUMBO Peer-to-Peer website based on valuable feedback from our September in-person meeting. The new site makes it easier than ever to access resources, share best practices, and connect with other educators in the EV training space.
