Developing essential skills for circularity

Shifting to a circular economy creates new job opportunities, but also requires specialised skills, making reskilling, training and education crucial. Understanding the needs of the market and society, developing modern curricula and guaranteeing adequate professional training are pivotal ways to achieve this. Trained professionals will create and apply innovative technologies, such as digitalisation that promotes transparency and traceability across supply chains and value creation. This session will address key initiatives and possibilities in professional education and technological development that aim to guide us towards circularity.
