This demo paper presents VR4VET Blue Sector, a virtual reality application for exploring workplaces and professions within the blue economy sectors, focusing on fishery and aquaculture, fish processing and other maritime professions. The application is a part of a bigger project VR4VET. The goal of the project is to inspire and empower young Europeans seeking employment, guiding them in discovering various work environments, professions, and career paths and providing a risk-free environment for job exploration. We explore how the app can be integrated into the current counseling practices to allow the users to train for real-life situations, gaining confidence, sense of mastery and skills in their journey towards education or employment.
