The Blue Career Centre seeks to provide prospects for young jobseekers in maritime transport, nautical tourism, aquaculture and the offshore oil and gas sectors to support businesses in finding the right staff with proper qualifications. Partners from Cyprus, Greece, Bulgaria and Romania, with observers from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey, will join forces to:

• Attract higher-education graduates or people with a vocational/ technical qualification in maritime professions through targeted and innovative education and/or training initiatives (including career guidance)
• Retrain and up-skill workers employed in other sectors and/or people currently unemployed for a job in the blue economy
• Diversify and expand the skills of people currently employed in the blue economy to progress in their career and/or to facilitate mobility to other maritime jobs
