On 14 June 2012 EPSU organises the third seminar in the project on identifying common interests and avenues for cooperation in the Waste industry. This is the last seminar in this project and it addresses skills and skill needs in a waste industry that is changing.
The waste industry is facing many changes in structure and working patterns at the moment due to globalisation and higher demands for re-use and recycling of waste. The focus in the industry is shifting from disposal (“how to get rid of waste”) to re-use (“how to regain the most of the resources in waste”).
We will look specifically at how these changes affect workers and what this means for skill needs of workers and future jobs. We will assess how social dialogue can play a role to anticipate on changes in jobs and skills.
The seminar will take place:
14 June 2012 from 10.30 to 16.30hrs
International Trade Union House,
Room B,
Boulevard du Roi Albert II, 5 – 1210 Brussels
Interpretation is available in English, French and German (active), and Italian, Swedish (passive).
