Duisburg trainees learn hydrogen – ZBT helped develop qualification<\/h2>\n

The skilled workers of tomorrow visited ZBT on 22 September 2023 for the kick-off event for the IHK additional hydrogen qualification.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Hydrogen\u00a0<\/b>is particularly important in Duisburg, the largest steel location in Europe. The\u00a0skilled workers<\/b>\u00a0of tomorrow must be trained so that they can also work with it. This is why 16 trainees started the newly developed\u00a0additional qualification<\/b>\u00a0in hydrogen, the only one of its kind in Germany. To kick off the course, the trainees and their trainers visited the\u00a0Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Center\u00a0(ZBT). Among other things, they learnt about occupational safety, risk assessment, environmental protection and a number of technical topics. The participants were also able to watch a live fuel cell test, visit the hydrogen test field and were instructed in the\u00a0OpenFuelCell<\/a>\u00a0by Burghard Lutter. This additional qualification was\u00a0jointly developed<\/b>\u00a0by the\u00a0Duisburg-Wesel-Kleve Chamber of Industry and Commerce for the Lower Rhine region<\/a>,\u00a0thyssenkrupp Steel Europe<\/a>,\u00a0H\u00fcttenwerke Krupp Mannesmann GmbH (HKM)<\/a>, ZBT and the\u00a0\u00a0Robert-Bosch Vocational College<\/a>. Among other things, we trained the instructors and developed the training materials. For the trainees, knowing how to handle hydrogen correctly is a\u00a0unique selling point on the labour market<\/b>. A total of 16 trainees from thyssenkrupp and HKM started the first round of the programme and completed seven modules. On 23 training days, everything revolves around\u00a0hydrogen: producing, transporting and using it safely<\/b>. The course concludes with an\u00a0IHK examination<\/b>. In the coming years, the additional qualification will be open to all companies with industrial-technical trainees in the IHK district.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
