E-waste is a global challenge, not only due to EEE production being subject to a network of global supply chains and the increasing generation of e-waste worldwide but also because its proper treatment and prevention require the active engagement of a diverse set of actors. These actors are required to be equipped with knowledges and skills on how to;

1. Observe workplace Safety and Procedures
2. Safely handle e-waste materials
3. Dismantle e-waste materials
4. Properly grade e-waste components and fractions
5. Apply circular economy principles in e-waste management
6. Safely dispose of reject e-waste materials
7. Perform basic repairs in e-waste processing
8. Use e-waste management tools and equipment
9. Identify mandatory Documents and records for E-waste management
10. Identify Laws, Policies and Regulations Governing E- Waste Management
