There is an opportunity for a place like Edmonton, as one of the first hydrogen hubs. It's a bit of an epicentre for that. As we look at the workforce in our region that can make a transition towards some of those hydrogen jobs of the future, there's a tremendous story there, but it does require a concerted effort.
How do we start to look at both the production of hydrogen and, more importantly, the use of hydrogen and some of the jobs associated with that? How can we pivot the professionals we have today, whether it's in engineering, construction or other parts of the workforce that could support the hydrogen economy, including new opportunities as well? We think about just using hydrogen, but it may also create some new industries in our regions that could be somewhat different from the industries of the past.
There is an incredible transition here, potentially. There's a workforce that is skilled, but we need to prioritize what the gaps are in that workforce, and how we can understand what the opportunities will look like over the next five to 10 years. It requires a more strategic approach than we've been taking in the past.
