A New Educational Requirement: Forming Specialists in the Field of Green Procurement

Abstract:

The social responsibility of companies has an increasingly important role in their relationship with the environment, regardless of the object of activity. Green procurement plays an important role in achieving these objectives. Department of Engineering and Management of Technological Systems Drobeta Turnu - Severin organizes or participates periodically in meetings with employers or collaborators, in order to identify new educational requirements regarding the competencies and abilities of graduates. It was thus found that qualified personnel are needed in making green procurement. In order to meet this requirement, our department aims to form specialists in the field of green procurement. The introduction of the new syllabus in the master's degree programs requires the completion of research steps to strengthen the curriculum by diversifying professional and transversal skills, in accordance with the generic skills of the study program.
