Harrow, Richmond and Uxbridge Colleges (HRUC) is helping Mauritius to create a greener future through an exciting new partnership.
The International Skills Partnership Mauritius, led by HRUC and the Mauritius Institute of Training and Development, will deliver practical training to help Mauritius reach its goal of becoming a Circular Economy.
What is a Circular Economy?
A Circular Economy aims to keep resources in use for as long as possible, for example by repairing or refurbishing goods instead of throwing them away. This helps to reduce waste and create a more climate-friendly environment.
Research and training
Using scientific research from Brunel University of London, the training will centre on increasing green job opportunities in the mobility, logistics, and waste management sectors.
‘The green transition’
Dr Mandy Crawford-Lee, CEO of the University Vocational Awards Council (UVAC), said: “UVAC is proud to support this partnership, which exemplifies how further and higher education can drive the green transition."
Going Global
The project is supported by funding from the British Council’s Going Global Partnerships programme.
Going Global Partnerships supports universities, colleges and wider education stakeholders around the world to work together towards stronger, equitable, inclusive, more internationally connected higher education, science and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).
