TRAINING COURSES

Recycling Managers Training
WRAP run training courses for individuals within the recycling industry. There are 2 phases:

Phase 1 is a 3 day course and is targetted at those who have recently joined the recycling sector, who may have a background in waste management and / or environmental management. The course is also relevant to individuals who want to update their knowledge and skills.

Phase 2 is a 4 day course and targets individuals who already have experience in some aspect/s of recycling service delivery, operations and/or communications, but are now seeking to move into a strategic role that requires an understanding of the relationship between the different elements and how they need to be integrated to effectively deliver recycling services.
