Analysis of EU Level Initiatives and their Synergies with the Circular Economy Action Plan and SkillsGap Analysis
The transition to a circular economy is important for reaching European and global sustainability goals. However, putting circular economy ideas into practice is still challenging, especially when it comes to matching education and training with the needs of the labour market.
This document was developed as part of the BECOME project to look at the current situation of circular economy ecosystems and learning communities. It focuses on identifying skills gaps and mismatches between vocational education and training, higher education, and labour market needs.
The report brings together regional insights from Slovenia, Bulgaria, the Netherlands and Finland, along with a wider European perspective. It explores existing learning communities, highlights good practices, and identifies key skills needed for the circular economy. The results support the development of targeted training materials and knowledge hubs and offer readers a clear introduction to how circular economy skills can be developed to support a broader transition.
