About

The VR4VET Blue Sector app is being developed for career guidance and vocational training in the Blue Economy sector, with a focus on empowering young job seekers. The app simulates an area of a fjord with several fish cages, a fish feeding station, a fish health and welfare station, a fish processing facility, a fish laboratory, and a reception area. The users can experience situations representing typical workplaces in the aquaculture and fish processing industries, such as feeding fish, inspecting fish for injuries and diseases, sorting fish in a factory, and analyzing water samples in a fish laboratory.
