Course Summary
Course Category: Employment / Lifelong Learning
The circular economy aims to keep resources in use for as long as possible, and then recover or recycle the materials at end of life. While the concept of a circular economy is not new, it is gaining a lot of attention as a result of climate change and the increasing scarcity of resource. Developing a circular economy in your business involves cutting down on waste and managing resources consumption in order to save money while reducing the impact of your business’s activities on the environment.
This micro-qualification will develop the skills of your employees in order to make circular economy improvements within your business.

The Student - Career Interests
This course is typically suited for people with the following Career Interests:
Social
The Social person's interests focus on interacting with the people in their environment. In all cases, the Social person enjoys the personal contact with other people in preference to the impersonal dealings with things, data and ideas found in other groups.
Many will seek out positions where there is direct contact with the public in some advisory role, whether a receptionist or a counsellor. Social people are motivated by an interest in different types of people and like diversity in their work environments. Many are drawn towards careers in the caring professions and social welfare area, whilst others prefer teaching and other 'informing' roles.
Naturalist
Not surprisingly, some aspect of the natural sciences will run through the Naturalist's interests - from ecological awareness to nutrition and health. People with an interest in horticulture, land usage and farming (including fish) are Naturalists.
Some Naturalists focus on animals rather than plants, and may enjoy working with, training, caring for, or simply herding them. Other Naturalists will prefer working with the end result of nature's produce - the food produced from plants and animals. Naturalists like solving problems with solutions that show some sensitivity to the environmental impact of what they do. They like to see practical results and prefer action to talking and discussing.
