The chemical industry is currently undergoing a four-fold or two-fold transition. It includes green and digital transformation
naast circulariteit en de Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability (CSS). Het initiatief "ChemSkills: enabling the green and digital skills
transformatie van de chemische industrie" moet een antwoord bieden op deze uitdagingen en groene en digitale vaardigheden identificeren en ontwikkelen, naast
vaardigheden om "veilige en duurzame chemicaliën by design" te produceren binnen het koolstofarme energie-intensieve ecosysteem.
The project covers several subsectors of the chemical industry: plastics, consumer chemicals, fertilizers, rubber, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals.
It will map already existing skills and develop new occupational profiles and associated qualifications for higher and post-secondary VET (EQF levels 3 to 5) and tertiary levels (EQF levels 6 to 8). The project will bring together stakeholders to jointly implement strategies to address skills shortages in the above subsectors. Key stakeholders include social partners, industry representations, research institutes, education and training providers, universities and governments.
