3. Motivations
Although the content of our current
course is good, I did not believe we
were empowering participants with
skills.
The aim is not to teach the concept
of the circular economy, but rather
to explore and provide avenues
for implementation of circular
functions applicable to companies.

4. Subject-Matter Experts
+
To achieve a
skills-based
course required
consensus on the
curriculum and
subject-matter
experts willing to
volunteer their
time.

5. Compete or Collaborate?
The circular economy asks all of us
to collaborate, but we also need a
healthy balance of competition.
A secondary aim of this project
is to bring together circular
economy practitioners, industry,
government agencies and NGOs
around a common goal.
What should a skills-based circular
economy foundation course
deliver?

the basic skills to
satisfy employment
requirements.

10. ROI for Skills Training
1. Businesses are not going to
invest into circular economy
skills training without a valid
business case.
2. Industry sector skills training
will be a critical follow-up
for implementation of circular
systems.
3. Design metrics to track skills
training outcomes.
4. Feedback systems built into the
online education platform.
5. Work with industry to expand
and deliver ‘circular principles’.
6. We must develop an industry
circular economy skills
standard.
7. The circular economy is rapidly
evolving.
