Representatives from the university spoke at a panel session of the FISHERY SKILLS Youth Forum entitled Dive into the Industry! Opportunities for Russian Youth in the Fisheries Sector.

Senior officials from the Federal Agency for Fishery, the industry's educational organisations, and the all-Russian youth project Your Move, as well as staff from various fisheries organisations responsible for youth affairs, participated in the session.

During the panel session, participants exchanged experiences of working with young people, discussed innovative methods and effective practices, and talked about how to engage young people and attract them to the industry’s organisations. They also answered questions from young people in the audience.

The university’s First Vice-Rector, O. G. Ogij, presented a paper to the audience entitled Digital Game-Based Technologies in Industry-Specific Education: From Purpose to Value. She spoke about the digital technologies used at our university. Oksana Gennadievna noted that up to 12,000 school pupils participate in our university’s programmes. The First Vice-Rector also spoke about the successful Engineering Classes and Agricultural Classes projects, as well as the university’s Olympiad movement.

‘We are continuing to improve programmes that identify the potential of school pupils, bachelor’s and specialist degree students. In this regard, we have developed an interactive computer programme designed as a game-based simulator called Fisheries Strategy, which offers powerful functional capabilities and is aimed at a wide range of age groups—from school pupils to university students,” said O.G. Ogij.
