The MENTOR project, co-funded by the EC under the EASME, aims to attract young people and experienced workers and fill existing skills' gaps by supporting activities that will increase employability in key Blue sectors of the region: Maritime Transport (shipping, ports, ship-repairs and shipbuilding), cruise and nautical tourism, aquaculture and offshore oil and gas.
For the purpose of the project, a Blue Career Centre for Eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea Regions (regional platform) was developed to provide prospects for young jobseekers in the above sectors to support businesses in finding the right staff with proper qualifications.
The idea of the platform is to bring together all the stakeholders of the various European Marine and Maritime Clusters in a common effort to close the skills gap, tackle unemployment and make “blue careers” more attractive to the young people of Europe and its neighbourhood.
Access the platform at http://mentor.cubiclemon.net/ in your region and help the efforts to increase the awareness of interested parties.
