Most training measures address end-of-the-pipe strategies. There are few qualification measures specifically for recycling and those that exist focus on waste training and not on the needed training for closed-loop thinking and acting. Moreover, the majority of post-initial training programmes concentrate on managers, while training activities for unskilled workers are not available. So companies in the recycling sector get their workforce from other occupational fields or organise on-the-job training. The RecyOccupation project wanted to develop concepts for an initial vocational training in the dynamic recycling sector, in order to make the sector professional. The intention was to produce research papers and sector reviews, carried out in the partner countries and covering occupational and qualification issues. The conclusions were to used to develop an European occupational core profile and a core curriculum for the sector aswell as a framework concept for environmental technological occupations at the European level. The promoter was biat- Berufsbildungsinstitut Arbeit und Technik, University of Flensburg, an institute for VET (Vocational Education and Training) teachers and vocational ecucationalists studies and VET research in Germany. BIAT cooperated with other VET research and training institutions and VET schools in the United Kingdom, Greece and Spain. An advisory board consisting of European social partners trade associations, trade unions and representatives of enterprises supported the project activities.the target group consisted of unskilled workers, including those with minimal qualifications, in the waste-management and environmental-protection industry. The main outcome of the project was the ECO-Recycler, an occupational profile for the closed -loop and waste sector. The core occupational profile is sufficient to overcome any qualification deficiencies at the skilled-worker level. The core profile can also be adapted to address missing qualifications among unskilled workers in the closed-loop and waste economy in the long term. Thanks to the focus on work processes, the curriculum can also be easily integrated into different vocational educational systems in Europe without loss of quality. Furthermore, a framework concept for jobs in environmental technology was generated, which further supports the sustainable development of the environmental economy. The added value appears in the creation of a European occupational core profile and in the integration of European environmental priorities in vocational training measures. The project was considered 2004 one of the best projects by the Leonardo da Vinci National Agencies and the European Commission.

Product 'Eco-Recycler - A European core occupational profile for the Closed Loop Waste Economa' Title: Eco-Recycler - A European core occupational profile for the Closed Loop Waste Economa Product Type: description of new occupation profiles Marketing Text: Description: Blings, J.; Spöttl, G.: Eco-Recycler ein europäisches Kernberufsprofil für die Kreislauf- und Abfallwirtschaft, a European core occupational profile for the closed loop and waste economy. Impuls-Reihe, Heft 9, Herausgeber Nationale Agentur für Bildung in Europa beim Bibb. Flensburg 2003, ISBN 3 88555 743 6. Target group: Experts, social partners, personnel development, decision makers, trainers and teachers, of the closed loop and waste economy, indirect: actuel or potential employees of the closed loop and waste economy Area of application: Result: The European core occupational profile Eco-Recycler is the result of systematically conducted surveys by the project group RecyOccupation in the United Kingdom, Spain, in Greece, and in Germany. The findings of the surveys shaped this core profile for a European occupational profile in the closed loop and waste economy. In the surveyed countries, training measures are still rare and sporadic and concentrate principally on the waste disposal and waste management sectors. This means that training measures address end-of-the-pipe strategies, but there are no qualification measures available adequately to address recycling tasks. This core occupational profile is suitable to overcome the qualification deficiencies at the (skilled) worker level. Due to the focus on work processes, the curriculum offers the opportunity to be integrated into the different vocational educational systems without a loss in quality. Dipl.-Biol.
