To deliver improved skills and competence in the resource and waste management sector, CIWM and the SWITCH Forum have signed an agreement to collaborate in order to provide better outcomes for learners and those wanting to upskill as they move along their career path.
The two organisations, who have a history of joint working and a shared ambition to maintain a core competency framework for the resources and waste sector, will develop a Technically Competent Manager Framework for Scotland. The framework will create a standardised approach and will assist those in the sector attain the required levels of skills and competence to manage sites and operate in the sector. In order to facilitate this upskilling of learners from across Scotland and other parts of the UK, a Higher Technical Qualification/training programme will be established for delivery in universities across the UK.
There is a natural alignment between CIWM as a professional body representing individuals in the sector and SWITCH Forum members who have an interest collaborating to raise standards in the sector.
