CANADIAN MARINE INDUSTRY FOUNDATION
The Foundation
The Canadian Marine Industry Foundation (CMIF) is working to develop dynamic and innovative solutions to create long-term human capital sustainability for one of Canada's most vital industries that is facing significant talent shortages, now and well into the future.
The CMIF serves as a resource centre for information on careers at sea and ashore as well as financial assistance available to support maritime studies at nautical schools and academic institutions. The CMIF also serves as a point of contact to direct educational, mentoring and employment inquiries to appropriate channels.

Canada's marine industry needs to attract the best and brightest talent, whether ashore or afloat, by offering careers to satisfy a wide range of interests and goals. The CMIF is working to raise awareness of the opportunities offered for skilled labour, trades and accredited professionals to steer the industry forward.
Through its Imagine Marine campaign, the CMIF is reaching out to deliver the message of job opportunities in the marine sector for young people, second career seekers, new citizens and equity-deserving groups.
