Abstract

The object of this research project is to gather information about the qualification structure and future qualification requirements of employees working in the field of environmental protection. Professionals and qualification requirements are strongly influenced by transformation processes leading to a Green Economy. It is generally assumed that changes of professions will occur both, within one sector as well as intersectional.

Therefore economic and societal processes of changes are initially going to be recorded and analyzed. Subsequently this allows a detailed inquiry and analysis of certain professions regarding actual requirements. Additionally, companies acting in the identified economic sectors will be surveyed concerning their qualification structures and requirements of their employees.
