The National Maritime College of Ireland (NMCI) is delighted to invite members of the public to our Open Day event on May 28th, as part of the Cork Harbour Festival.  This is a unique opportunity to explore Ireland’s centre of excellence for maritime training and education.

Whether you're a student considering your next steps, a career changer, or simply curious about life at sea, there will be something for everyone.

Highlights of the Open Day include:

• Guided tours of NMCI’s cutting-edge simulators, training equipment, and workshops
• Opportunities to meet and speak with experienced maritime professionals, instructors, and current students
• Insights into educational pathways and industry-recognised training programmes offered at NMCI
• Interactive sessions designed to inform and inspire the next generation of maritime professionals

This event reflects NMCI’s commitment to raising awareness of the crucial role the maritime sector plays in Ireland’s economy and its global importance. We aim to inspire and inform visitors about the exciting and rewarding careers that await in the maritime world.
