Objective
Environmental protection, now widely perceived as a necessity, has become a potentially important source of employment. However, much work still remains to be done to establish new occupations and professions in this sector. The project promoters, who have been involved in consultancy and training in the environmental protection sector for many years (i.e. water quality, treatment of solid wastes, green spaces, etc.) have established the need to develop training directed at environmental protection personnel working in private companies and local authorities.
In the initial phase, a survey will be conducted in four countries to identify the skills such staff should acquire. This research will be aimed at companies, local authorities, individuals, trade unions and associations, with each group interviewed stating their requirements in the relevant category. A needs analysis will be drawn up and will form the basis for an inventory of the various skills required in different environmental sectors. These skills will then be listed in three training reference documents dealing with the following main areas: treatment of solid wastes, treatment of liquid wastes, as well as the planning, management and protection of the surrounding public environment. A unifying framework linking these three reference documents will also be established. In a second phase, the partners will develop training modules for this common framework and the three specified areas.
Impact
Formalising new skills associated with developing environmental protection, as well as creating a new job description and a new programme to train "specialists for handling environmental problems".
