The blended learning course “Junior Expert in Circular Economy” will equip 25 European young people with the necessary tools and skills needed for sustainable development and circular transition in economy and society.

Participants of the course will receive a Higher Technician certificate and will be able to work in:

Small and big companies from the construction, industrial, sustainability, and mechanical sectors. Product process, corporate sustainability, and innovation departments. A variety of positions that demand highly-demanded skills in product evaluation, and sustainability analysis.

Project Goals and Objectives

Circular economy challenges require a well-trained workforce with high analytical, creative and technical skills, appropriately integrated into the European qualification frameworks and system. The purpose was to develop and certify a 1-year post-secondary non-tertiary education pilot course that can be transferred at European level and be adopted by the EIT RawMaterials Academy as a general framework for future VET (vocational education and training) courses.

Participants

People between 18-25 living in Estonia, Finland, Switzerland or Italy.
