Graduate Jobs could be created through the development of a digital health and fitness programme, a report suggests. Virtually Augmented Exercise (VAE) is being created by AiDEPT (Advanced Interactive Digital Exercise Prescription Technology) in partnership with Teesside University's graduate scheme, the Newcastle Evening Gazette reports. So far the scheme has helped local businesses create 170 jobs for graduates from all disciplines and supported and provided accommodation, mentoring and training. VAE aims to make keeping fit fun, the paper stated, combining a video game with a cardiovascular workout that can be tailored to user ability and current fitness. Managing director of AiDEPT Fred Pernet told the Evening Gazette: "AiDEPT has the potential to change people's attitude to exercise and could therefore have a profound effect on death rates from major health problems such as heart disease." Meanwhile the lack of skills in IT innovation has prompted the British Computer Society to urge the government to continue funding support for graduates.
