This is a FREE webinar session and acts as a precursor to our upcoming events. Don’t miss out on this chance to position yourself at the forefront of the green hydrogen transition.

Why are we hosting this webinar?

The need for a highly skilled hydrogen workforce is on the rise as the hydrogen industry expands in regions with strong policy support and renewable energy infrastructure. The sector faces a significant skills gap, with demand for hydrogen expertise outpacing the current supply of qualified professionals.

Education is a cornerstone of addressing this challenge, with academic institutions and technical training programs playing a pivotal role in equipping workers with the necessary skills. Partnerships between industry and educational institutions are essential for creating targeted training programs and fostering a pipeline of talent.

At the same time, retaining and reskilling the existing workforce is critical. Workers transitioning from traditional energy sectors bring valuable experience that can be adapted to the unique demands of the hydrogen economy.Beyond its technical challenges, the hydrogen industry presents immense economic opportunities, including job creation across production, storage, distribution, and infrastructure. This growth is not limited to individual regions; it’s a global effort, with international demand for skilled professionals driving collaboration and innovation.

This webinar will explore these vital topics, providing insights into how we can build and adapt a workforce ready to meet the challenges and opportunities of the hydrogen economy.

The expert panel will guide you through:

• How can are educational institutions, industry partnerships, and federal policies helping to prepare the workforce for emerging hydrogen-related occupations?
• What growth opportunities does hydrogen present to engineers, risk management and safety officer, technicians, analysts, scientist, project managers, lawyers, and financial advisors?
• What training and certification programs are necessary to ensure that workers handling hydrogen are adequately prepared for safety challenges?
• How are educational institutions helping to prepare the workforce for emerging hydrogen-related occupations?
• What role do industry partnerships play in workforce development for the hydrogen sector?
• How are federal policies supporting the preparation of the workforce for hydrogen-related jobs?

Join us for an engaging webinar that delves deep into the importance of adapting our current workforce for the hydrogen transition. This session is tailored for companies eager to stay ahead of the curve of the hydrogen transition in the safety way.
