Hydrogen Safe is set to host a series of roundtable events which will inform and develop a Hydrogen Skills Framework for Greater Manchester.
Over a series of events, cross-sector policy experts, industry leaders and academics will explore a set of topics, beginning with how the change in government impacts the hydrogen skills ambition for the UK on 28 August. This will be followed by three further sessions looking at connecting supply and demand in the hydrogen economy and delivering a hydrogen skills framework, as well as a practical workshop.
All the events are free of charge to attend, with the Hydrogen Skills Framework built intended to be used not only for Greater Manchester, but also as a guide for other regions throughout the country.
CEO and Hydrogen Safe Founder, Andy Lord, said: “We’ve held more discussions than I care to remember over recent months which share the same narrative: we do something about the skills shortage or miss out on the opportunities that hydrogen could bring to the UK. The skills gap has been referred to as a tsunami. We can’t simply wait for something to happen; we have to take the lead and turn the talk into action. With a skills framework in place, we can start pulling in the same direction, delivering the infrastructure we will all need to benefit from the green economy.”
