(...) These jobs : Where would they come from, and do we start from scratch? Do we train someone right from the beginning for five years as a hydrogen engineer or a hydrogen technician? The point of view that I put across is that we can up-skill existing graduates and existing graduates who are unfortunately unemployed could benefit from up-skilling themselves, adding new skills related to hydrogen in a very short period of time, in a six-month period of time, concentrating on specific skills that are needed for the hydrogen economy.

This has two advantages. The first advantage is that it allows us to be very dynamic and responsive to the market, bringing in skills very quickly onto the market. And the other advantage is that it starts addressing the unemployment problems that we suffer from in Jordan, as in many other countries in the region.
