Web Development/Application Development
Project Summary
The Merchant Navy Commemorative Theme Project (MNCTP) is a "Canadian driven" initiative dedicated to educating Canadians and the international community about the sacrifices and contributions made by the Canadian, Allied Merchant Navies, and the American Merchant Marine during WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. The MNCTP also promotes them as part of Canada's, the United States of America’s, and indeed, the world's rich maritime heritage.
In 2015, the MNCTP launched the Allied Merchant Navy Promotions and Commemorative Celebrations (AMNPCC) as part of our new Global Maritime Promotion Integration and Outreach Strategy (GMPIOS). The AMNPCC has been created to unify nations of the world under common veterans’ and maritime themes. The AMNPCC is the foundation for: building a global partnership among nations of the world; public and private sector and non-for-profit organizations; educational institutions; the general public; and much more.
The MNCTP is currently seeking student candidates to fill critical positions that contribute to the achievement of the organizational goals and objectives. We believe that the student should be offered opportunities to optimize their field of study experience with that of the overall expectations of various occupations within the Canadian labour market.
