The waste management sector is expected to grow from $285 billion in 2016 to $435 billion by 2023. 

Waste is a serious problem in both developing and developed countries. Hence, the rising demand for waste management specialists in government, industry, commerce and  non-profit organisations. 
 

Waste management is a challenging and rewarding area of work. Essentially, it’s all about planning and managing processes that help reduce the environmental impact of the waste produced by human and industrial activities. Poor waste management has many negative outcomes such as health and hygiene issues, rodent and insect infections, environmental pollution and, ultimately, reduced standards of living. The list is long and as time passes it becomes even more expensive to address. 

Who is it for and what will you learn?

Whether you are thinking of working with waste management projects or perhaps already work in a related field, our waste management training will provide the necessary technical and theoretical knowledge you need. 

Throughout the course, which is taught by experienced waste management experts, you will learn about the solid waste management cycle, looking in depth at each stage of that cycle. 

You will learn how to assess and identify issues in a given context, for example in a community or industrial setting, how to design an adequate sustainable waste management system, what technology to use in different local contexts, and the resources required and how to manage them.  

The course will also provide you with the tools to transfer your technical skills to others. Such training-for-trainers is in high demand in the public and private sectors.

What career opportunities will you have?

There is reason to believe that the demand for waste management specialists will exceed the current supply.

According to a recent survey performed by ECO Canada on current job trends and future growth.(http://www.eco.ca/wp-content/uploads/ECO-Canada-Careers-in-Waste-Management.pdf) the waste management sector is projected to add over 20,000 jobs by More 2024.

After obtaining the relevant skills, movement between the public and private sectors is common and can provide opportunities for progression in your career. Changes  in legislation can also lead to the creation of new roles.

Obviously the salaries in the sector depend on the skill-set level and experience, but it is unquestionably an attractive area for employment. https://www1.salary.com/Waste-Management-Manager-Salaries.html
