Low-Carbon Resources Initiative (LCRI)’s Post

On July 16-17, 2024, the Hydrogen Education for a Decarbonized Global Economy (#H2EDGE) program hosted a dynamic in-person workshop at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. The event, "Connect the Dots: Linking Hydrogen Education to Workforce Development Needs", brought together over 70 key stakeholders from academia, industry, labor associations, government, and beyond.     The workshop set out to foster collaboration, share knowledge, and discuss effective strategies for advancing #hydrogen #education and #workforce development. We were honored to hear from distinguished speakers who shared their insights on education programs, workforce development, and cutting-edge research in the hydrogen sector.     Panel discussions provided critical insights into workforce gaps, upskilling and reskilling needs, community and labor engagement, and strategies for recruitment and retention. We also highlighted the pivotal role of HBCUs, community colleges, and technical schools in preparing the next generation of hydrogen professionals. Student perspectives were also highlighted, featuring experiences from the University of Delaware and Denmark Technical College.     Stay tuned for our key takeaways and a summary document, which will be available soon on the H2EDGE website (https://lnkd.in/eknPr7nc).
