I got a question from a reader earlier today about which universities have hydrogen programs and where the jobs will be in the hydrogen industry in the future.
Here was my response:
“I think there will be a very wide range of jobs. While the auto industry will continue, I think the big increase in jobs will be in hydrogen fueling infrastructure. Some of the industrial gas companies involved in this area are Air Products, Linde, Air Liquide, and Praxair.
There will be business (e.g. marketing, finance, etc.) and engineering jobs in these companies.
For those who are into the Washington, D.C. atmosphere, there should be a lot more lobbyists and non-profit organizations around hydrogen in the future.
Basically, there should be a wide range of opportunities.
For college programs on hydrogen fuel cells, you might want to check out the University of California-Davis and the Missouri University of Science and Technology.
South Carolina is also quite active with hydrogen. The University of South Carolina and Midlands Technical College are two possibilities.
One more entrepreneurial way to make a name for yourself and network is to start a hydrogen blog. There are very few right now. You could even start a blog that covers this specific issue (i.e. universities who have hydrogen programs and jobs in the hydrogen industry).”
