This extensive Hydrogen Workforce Assessment Tool by Transition Accelerator provides a practical framework for identifying and addressing workforce needs across Canada’s hydrogen economy. It details core occupations required at every stage of the hydrogen value chain, including low-carbon hydrogen production (PEM electrolysis, SMR, ATR, CCS), storage, transport, distribution, and emerging markets. The tool describes typical qualifications, key activities, unique hydrogen-related requirements, and talent risks or opportunities for engineers, operators, technicians, and maintenance roles. Designed to support the hydrogen HUB approach, this living document helps industry, policymakers, educators, and workforce planners align talent development strategies with the sector’s growth and innovation goals.
