Description
Moving to a circular economy paradigm lies at the core of the European Green Deal (EGD) ambitions. Shifting to a ‘re - design, repair and reuse’ economy leads to new jobs, and brings about changes in job profiles that require circular design, systems thinking and transversal skills. This policy brief reports on a Cedefop skills foresight study which looked at the occupations and skills that are essential for achieving a circular economy in the EU, and the role that vocational education and training (VET) can play in support.
