The industrial sector requires skilled professionals to implement circular practices.With the advent of digital transformation, this demand for skilled labour is growing.Clear understanding of the real needs of industry is a valuable input to educational institutions to design training programs that effectively meet the skill requirements of organisations in the labour market.Therefore, this study aims to map the industrial and practical requirements related to the skills and job roles essential for advancing the transition to a circular economy (CE).To this end, an online exploratory survey was conducted with 102 experts from firms interested in or engaged in CE-related activities.This article discusses a set of skills required by industry, the main barriers to CE implementation, highlighting the necessity of a skilled workforce, and explores the different educational formats most needed to strengthen professional training for a twin green and digital transition.
