The Nautical Training Corps (Registered Charity) was established in 1944 and supported the country by providing opportunities for young people to become active and contributing members of their local communities. In addition, those who were required to serve in the armed forces could use their service time to count towards basic training (Y Entry Scheme). Over the last few years the NTC have been focused on developing organisational resilience, improving process, policy and working practice. As part of this a centralised recruitment team was established to ensure consistency in approach and a smoother onboarding of those willing to donate their time to support the development of young people.
