In the national Talentprogramme Leadership for the Circular Transition (LCT), we prepare students to play their part in the transition towards a circular world by developing the competencies and skills they need. Students work together with fellow students mbo, hbo and wo, as well as experts from the field of circular transitions from across the Netherlands.
"I made really big changes personally, but also on
the case of circularity" - LCT Student 2022
The programme
The LCT-programme consists of three modules that take place in roughly four months. In these modules, we will dive in on the circular transition, leadership and other relevant topics that relate to the circular transition. Experts from the field of circular transitions will give practice-orientated workshops, in which you work with fellow students.
You can either follow the full programme or pick the parts that fit your schedule and interest. Of course, we strongly suggest following the full programme to get the most out of the programme.

During three days you will meet and work together with fellow students. Learn about the circular transition, (personal) leadership, design thinking, and what we can learn from nature.
