The Hydrogen Skills Alliance (HSA) is collaborating with the ECITB to launch a hydrogen skills framework dedicated to enhancing training and development in the sector. This initiative, part of the broader plan 'Empowering The Future: A Strategic Skills Plan for the UK Hydrogen Economy', aims to tackle industry challenges and demonstrate the scale of issues faced by the hydrogen sector. The framework, which is an open-source project, will continuously evolve to meet the changing demands of the hydrogen economy. It offers certifications to ensure industry knowledge and serve as a benchmark for skills development. The goal is to equip employers with the tools to train their workforce effectively and maintain visible career pathways. The industry minister, Sarah Jones, highlighted the importance of having a skilled workforce to support the growth of the hydrogen industry and deliver clean power missions. The framework will play a pivotal role in creating job opportunities and preparing the workforce for the future. Partnerships with various organizations will ensure that all occupations in the hydrogen value chain are covered, facilitating the identification and filling of any skills and knowledge gaps. The CEO of ECITB, Andrew Hockey, emphasized the significance of the framework in developing training pathways for both new entrants and existing workers in the hydrogen sector. The initiative aims to make the workforce hydrogen-ready by addressing skill shortages and promoting industry growth.
