Driven by globalization, complex global supply chains have traditionally focused on efficiency, speed, and cost-effectiveness in a linear model. However, the growing focus on sustainability demands a shift towards circular supply chains that extend product lifecycles and minimize waste. This transition requires a skilled workforce equipped with new knowledge and competencies. This chapter explores the challenges and opportunities of developing such a workforce, highlighting the emergence of new roles like green procurement specialists and circular leadership. It proposes a multi-faceted approach to bridge the circular economy skills gap. This strategy emphasizes integrating circular economy principles into company culture, developing targeted training programs, leveraging existing expertise, fostering collaboration with educational institutions, and utilizing digital technology for learning and collaboration. Organizations can empower their workforce by implementing these strategies to catalyze the transformation to a sustainable future.
