Ok Barents is a training office that focuses on apprentices in the fishing industry, also known as the "blue industries". The office acts as a link between member companies, upper secondary schools and the County Council, with the aim of increasing recruitment to professions such as fisheries and aquaculture.
Services include guidance and support for apprentices, help in finding apprenticeships, and preparation for vocational exams. Emphasis is placed on practical experience and competence development, with tailored follow-up throughout the apprenticeship. Ok Barents collaborates with various industries to ensure that the training follows current curricula, and that apprentices are registered for vocational exams after completing their apprenticeship.
