Empowering Global Collaborations: Skills Partnerships in Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology
Key Ideas
  • The British Council is offering UK education institutions the opportunity to collaborate with South African colleges on hydrogen fuel cell technology.
  • Successful applicants will receive £25,000 in grant funding for partnership activities over 12 months, including staff time and resource development.
  • The focus is on sharing expertise in curriculum development and employer engagement in the clean energy sector, specifically hydrogen fuel cell technology.
The British Council has announced a grant call for skills partnerships in hydrogen fuel cell technology, aimed at UK further education colleges or training organizations. The partnerships will involve collaboration with Northern Cape Rural TVET College and Nkangala TVET College in South Africa, focusing on the renewable energy sector with a specific emphasis on hydrogen fuel cell technology. Successful UK institutions will receive £25,000 in grant funding to support partnership activities, including reciprocal visits, staff time, and resource development. The project will span 12 months starting from March 2025. Partners will work on curriculum development and employer engagement in clean energy technologies, particularly hydrogen fuel cell technology, and will jointly create an action plan. The initiative aims to enhance global networking and capacity building for international work in the field. The British Council teams in the UK and South Africa will provide ongoing support to ensure effective communication and mutual benefits.
