About
The transition to a circular economy is creating new opportunities for innovation, competitiveness, and sustainability across Ireland. However, organisations need the right capabilities, knowledge, and workforce skills to make that transition successful.
The Circular Economy Skills Survey 2026 aims to build a clearer national picture of current skills strengths, gaps, and future needs across industries and regions.
Your feedback will help inform future training programmes, business supports, and skills development initiatives that enable organisations to thrive in a circular economy.
