Hydrogen Workforce Insights: Interactive Database Tool for Job Roles and Skills Needs
The IPHE’s H2Skills Task Force has developed an interactive database as a resource to support stakeholders in navigating the emerging hydrogen workforce landscape. The tool consolidates information from published hydrogen skills needs assessments and enables users to explore key job roles and their characteristics, including qualification requirements, skills gaps, hydrogen-specific competencies, and recruitment risks and opportunities. It is intended to support authors of future skills needs assessments, as well as those involved in workforce planning, education and training development, and policy design.
Menu:
Explore Hydrogen Job Roles by Skills Characteristics
This tool allows users to filter job roles by key characteristics such as qualification, value chain stage, and to conduct keyword searches to identify roles of interest. The results are displayed in the “Details” block below, grouped according to the source country. This enables users to explore job roles and associated skills. For example, users can search for roles requiring a particular qualification level, compare hydrogen-specific skills across job profiles, or identify workforce needs linked to specific value chain stages or activities. For step-by-step instructions and tips on using this tool effectively, you can download the User Guide using the link at the bottom of the page.
Map Job Roles Across Hydrogen Skills Studies
This section gives users an overview of which job roles are covered in which hydrogen skills needs assessments. Users can search by keyword or filter by source document, allowing them to trace where particular roles are discussed, compare how they are characterised across different studies. For detailed guidance on using this section, you can download the User Guide from the link at the bottom of the page.

Limitations of the database:
The tool draws on a diverse set of published studies, each with different goals, scopes, and methodologies. The data presented is intended to inform users about the workforce needs and trends identified across various countries and sectors, rather than set universal or normative standards.
