Digital Product Passports will be rolled out as from 2027 and many professionals are still building the skills they'll need. To help address this skills gap, National College of Ireland's Cloud Competency Centre is launching three free, live evening courses on circular economy in digital systems. Taking place online, these courses offer practical, industry-focused learning you can apply in your workplace. 

These informal courses are designed for professionals working — or aspiring to work — in areas such as: 

• Sustainability & ESG 
• Product management & innovation 
• Operations & supply chain management
• Data analytics & business intelligence 
• Procurement, quality & compliance 
• Digital transformation 

The courses are on:
