Fuel Cells 2000 Unveils New Career Center

    WASHINGTON, May 7 Fuel Cells 2000 has launched an online
resource center for individuals interested in pursuing a professional career
in the fuel cell industry.  "The fuel cell industry is booming and with this
explosion comes the increased need for qualified employees," said Robert Rose,
executive director of Fuel Cells 2000.  "We created this resource in response
to the hundreds of emails and letters inquiring about employment opportunities
in the growing fuel cell job market."
    The Fuel Cell Career Center
(http://www.fuelcells.org/careercenter/fccenterhome.html) provides information
in three separate areas of activity - Education, Employment Opportunities, and
Professional Development - to service every stage of the job search, from
laying the groundwork with a fuel cell-focused degree to training and
workshops at the professional level.

    * The Educational Activities section includes background information for
      students interested in pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree
      involving fuel cell technologies, internship opportunities and
      information on curriculum materials and educational kits for teachers.

    * For job seekers, the Employment Opportunities section of the Career
      center has listings and links to websites offering jobs within the fuel
      cell industry, company profiles to learn more about individual fuel cell
      companies and their activities, and will soon have job posting boards
      for companies to display employment listings.

    * For Professional Activities, Fuel Cells 2000 has compiled a listing of
      workshops and seminars to provide opportunities for information exchange
      and networking in the fuel cell industry as well as links to
      Professional Associations related to engineering, fuel cells and
      renewable energy.

    "The Fuel Cell Career Center is a work in progress.  We are going to add
to it on a daily basis and are partnering with the U.S. Fuel Cell Council to
make the site a success," said Jennifer Gangi, project manager.  Companies
with fuel cell opportunities to post to the Career Center or other resources
to help expand it, please contact Jennifer Gangi at jennifer@fuelcells.org.

    Fuel cells generate electricity without combustion by harnessing the
energy created when hydrogen and oxygen are chemically combined.  Fuel Cells
2000 is an independent, nonprofit activity dedicated to the commercialization
of fuel cell technologies.
