Addressing the current skills and labor shortages facing the marine industry, the Indigenous Marine Career Advancement Program (IMCAP) aims to increase training and employment opportunities for Indigenous participants interested in starting or advancing a career in the maritime sector. In partnership with maritime companies and sector partners, Indigenous participants will embark on a twelve-month placement program focused on creating full-time positions.
Participants will benefit from:
Opportunities for personal and professional growth through education and training
Exposure to various roles and career paths within maritime-related industries
Potential for long-term career advancement
Culturally safe wrap-around supports
