Skills shortages are a common feature of the technology landscape when a new technology starts to become successful. These shortages can stretch right across the value chain, from applied research and product engineering, to manufacturing and maintenance. It is important to ensure that a lack of skills does not become a barrier in the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen arena.

Roads2HyCom has developed curricula for a series of courses designed to train graduate engineers in the essentials of Fuel Cell and Hydrogen technology. The focus was on education and training in the engineering sector, because European economic development policy is generally aimed towards the "high value" parts of the value chain and because in the early stages of technology uptake, this is where skills shortages are at risk of occuring.+
