Welcome to the Skills Forum
Developing skills to serve the hydrogen world to ensure the industry has “the right people, with the right skills at the right time” to accelerate the transition from fossil to hydrogen energy.
Our Vision and Mission:
Developing, rolling out, and running on a new fuel is complex, and there are many interdependencies between projects. For one to succeed, others must be in place to support and multiple industries must work together. Hydrogen South West is the connector, creating partnerships among those who make, move and use hydrogen.
The partnership is a one-stop shop for delivering growth and securing investment in hydrogen in the South West. Cutting across sectors, we can demonstrate the cohesion and capabilities that make the South West the perfect place to invest and lead the way in decarbonisation
Key to this effort is enhancing skills and delivering new job opportunities to ensure a sustainable future. By driving investment and innovation in decarbonising technology, the South-West is poised to become a centre of excellence for hydrogen expertise.
