The most important aspect of creating a system of sustainable waste management should be to control public opinion. Especially important is the environmental education - training of highly qualified personnel in the field of waste management.
In the Russian Federation to increase the skill level, there are several possibilities: higher education for reduced programs, training and professional development through additional vocational education and training through the program graduate, postgraduate and doctoral studies.
The concept of development of the Irkutsk State Technical University, defines a strategy for the transition to a qualitatively new stage of development for the university of innovative type. It provides the following strategic objectives of the educational activity:
In this process, ISTU purposefully working to implement two-tier system of education in the learning process.
The growth of interest in the treatment of waste production and consumption is due to two complementary factors: the tightening of legislation and increasing interest in the business. It identified the need to open an exclusive innovative Master’s program “Waste management and recycling of production and consumption.”
The program was developed during the project “Development of a Master course” Management of waste production and consumption “in the technical universities in the Baikal region” under the program TEMPUS Gemeinsames Europäisches Projekt.
At present, this international program in ISTU trained 25 undergraduates, 14 graduates in 2011 have already received the degree of “Master of engineering and technology.”
Also in the Irkutsk State Technical University since 2003, organized by retraining workers of the enterprises under the program “Management of hazardous waste.” Each year, an additional qualification in this area are more than 300 people.
We believe that the appearance of our enterprises and organizations of highly qualified experts in the field of waste management will make a real contribution to exist in Russia and in the Baikal region, in particular, problems in waste production and consumption.
