Circler

The transition toward a more Circular Economy of the very relevant and growing EU Furniture sector requires companies to properly guide this process and its challenges. The sector lacks the occupational profile of the Circular Economy Transition Manager (CETM) and the related needed training.

CirCLER will deliver CETM new joint curricula (EQF4, 5, 6) filling in the gaps of current related green, digital, transversal skills, taking into account EU VET and HE policies and principles (ECTS, EQF, EQAVET). It will create an innovative training toolkit including several multimedia and interactive materials and tools, enabling EU VET providers and HEIs to train professionals to successfully lead this transition along the furniture sector whole value chain.

The work-based training toolkit will be available in 7 EU languages and target students and workers through customizable training paths adaptable to specific SKCs needs. It will be tested in a Pilot Course by 400 learners and validated by stakeholders and recognized within and outside the alliance thanks to the signature of MoUs. CirCLER will also look into ESCO profiles affected by CETM new tasks.
