From Skills to Opportunity

CircularSkills™ is not designed to end when participants leave the training room.

Where appropriate, participants can be introduced to additional support in areas such as:

• Business development
• Product development
• Marketing and sales
• Financial management
• Market access
• Mentorship
• Enterprise development
• Green entrepreneurship

Why CircularSkills™?

We believe skills become more valuable when they can be applied.

Our approach therefore connects learning, making and enterprise opportunity.

Participants do not simply learn about circular manufacturing. They are encouraged to understand how a skill can become a product, how a product can respond to a market need, and how practical production can contribute to livelihoods and environmental sustainability.
