The UK is gearing up for a significant workforce transformation to support its ambitions in the hydrogen industry, as outlined in the British Energy Security Strategy. The Hydrogen Skills Alliance has projected a substantial demand for skilled workers, estimating the need for 29,000 direct and 64,500 indirect jobs in the hydrogen economy by 2030. This workforce expansion will involve individuals with a diverse set of skills to drive production, storage, distribution, and utilization of hydrogen. Challenges such as skills shortages, lack of industry diversity, and unclear job roles in the hydrogen sector have been identified in the latest assessment. Justine Fosh, CEO of Cogent Skills, highlighted the importance of understanding future labor market needs to facilitate a smooth transition to a net zero economy. The report stresses the necessity for cross-sector collaboration to address the unique skills challenges posed by the emerging hydrogen economy. Key recommendations from the assessment will contribute to the forthcoming UK Hydrogen Skills Strategy, which aims to develop a dynamic modeling tool for workforce planning, facilitate skills transfer from related sectors, introduce specialized training programs, and enhance STEM promotion to attract talent to the hydrogen industry. This strategic approach not only aims to bridge the skills gap but also promises to create new career pathways and support the growth of the hydrogen sector in the UK.
