Our skills strategy works at two levels – upskilling industry professionals and developing the technology talent of tomorrow.
A strategic asset for the city and University, Manchester Fuel Cell Innovation Centre’s focus is squarely on next-generation energy – but we understand that our current and future workforce need the right skills to be able to take our clean energy agenda forward.
We know that education and skills underpin our ability to reach our ambition of a zero-carbon economy and that by ensuring our students and local population are equipped with the necessary skills to fill these roles, the city region can achieving its low carbon vision.
Fostering the talent of tomorrow
Inspiring young minds and developing the technology talent of tomorrow is a vital element of the Centre’s ethos. We work with school children and education providers to raise awareness of green energy issues, embedding essential teaching and laboratory work into every stage of the curriculum. This gives children and young people the opportunity to see for themselves what it means for the world around them.
Developing skills in industry
Manchester Fuel Cell Innovation Centre leads the development of wider skills programmes with business partners who advise us on the types of skills they require for future hydrogen and green economies – and exactly what they want and need from future graduates.
