The establishment of a hydrogen economy is a key element of German climate policy. This article summarises the results of two BIBB projects which have been examining the impacts of the hydrogen ramp-up on the labour market as a whole and on the dual VET system. Alongside the expected positive economic impetuses and employment effects, it is revealed that existing training occupations already offer good initial starting points for hydrogen-related tasks. Nevertheless, there is a need for more precisely tailored training provision.
