New skills

The economic and social context of the plastics industry in Europe shows the necessity of preparing young people and professionals for new qualifications in sustainable development, which are indispensable to the evolution of the sector.

Based on the existing professional profile in each of the countries, the partners are interested in sustainable development factors affecting the traditional job of the operator in plastics. These influences are both conditioned by a national policy, EU regulations, but also by local cultural practices as well as global. New professional activities have thus emerged to meet these new constraints. In connection with companies, the partners have updated professional profile with new tasks and have thus identified new skills necessary to practice the job.
