Hydrogen requires professionals: building knowledge and talent together

Retrain hydrogen personnel

The energy transition requires not only technical innovation but, above all, people with the right knowledge and skills. The need for well-trained technical personnel is growing particularly in the hydrogen sector, while the labor market is under pressure. This meeting brings together companies, education, and the industry to explore where the greatest opportunities lie: from upskilling existing employees to collaboration with vocational and higher education institutions, and from internships and apprenticeships to smart strategies for recruiting new technical operators. With inspiring practical examples and concrete insights, this program offers tools to start building the hydrogen team of tomorrow today.

During this meeting, you will receive:

• Insight into the shortage of (technical) personnel: where do the opportunities lie for further training, collaboration with MBO/HBO institutions, and organizing internships or work-study placements.
• Best practices for recruiting technical operators and updating existing teams.
