The overall objective of BLUES is to design and develop a new dynamic training material in order to retrain and upskill “blue” professionals (workers, unemployed people) to upgrade their knowledge and competences allowing them to progress in their career or move to other promising job opportunities in the Blue Economy (Coastal – Maritime Tourism and Shipping). BLUES is based on the existing skills gaps in the blue economy which have been identified in various policy documents in recent years. The project will promote the growth of the Blue Economy in the partners’ countries by strengthening the cooperation between industry and education to fill the skills’ gap in this field and the awareness of “Blue careers” through the development of a One Stop Portal that will host, among other things, the project’s e-learning services
