摘要

The manufacturing sector requires a highly skilled workforce able to integrate sustainable business models in line with technological advancement. So far, it is still not clear how company deal with the enhancement of the set of skills needed to ease the twin green and digital transition. Without an understanding of the current state of practice, it could be tough for educational institutions to provide educational and training courses capable to meet the actual requests of companies approaching this transition. This research, grounded on an online survey, aims to identify the industrial and practical needs associated with the required skills and professional roles, necessary to address the transition towards a Circular Economy (CE) model. The results of this study (complemented by a literature, empirical interviews, and market investigation) will be exploited to develop courses in the twin green and digital transition at Higher Education (HE) and Vocational Education and Training (VET) levels.
