Updates from the RECEBA project, its regional partnerships, and the wider circular economy and VET community.
Three days in Graz with the CoP CoVEs community, a Finnish example of a Centre of Vocational Excellence that outlived its project, and two conversations RECEBA intends to continue.
RECEBA has opened a survey asking companies which circular economy skills they need and cannot find. Responses will shape the training and microcredentials the project designs across six European regions.
The Public University of Navarra and Orekan have created a chair on circular economy and sustainability, drawing on RECEBA to develop microcredentials, teacher learning communities and practical workshops for companies.
In Brussels at the fifth annual S3 Community of Practice conference, Cleantech Bulgaria, GreenWin and ACR+ brought RECEBA into the discussion, making the case that skills and vocational education belong inside smart specialisation, not at its edge.
On 17 June in Pamplona, the Public University of Navarre piloted an Erasmus+ MASTERY microcredential, bringing together 16 regional and European organisations to connect circular economy skills with policy and funding.
A new European Environment Agency assessment projects up to 700,000 more jobs from the circular transition by 2030, and warns the skills they require are changing in ways monitoring barely captures.
