Courses in Malta
Malta is a thriving island, which specialises in tourism, English courses,
online games, finance and IT. It has a particularly low rate of unemployment.
Many people are employed in the fields of IT and telephone helplines (hot line),
and the online games industry is in full growth. It is also possible to look for a
course in one of the many language schools present on the island (especially in
marketing and customer relations).
The island is also famous for its shipbuilding and textile industries, footwear
manufacture and even the production of tobacco products.

Internship, traineeship
Several training programmes targeting diverse audiences have been put in place
by the Maltese Government. The Student Placement Programme, for example, is

with a remuneration of 6,02€ per hour (2017): mita.gov.mt
Vocational training and courses come under the authority of the Department for
Education and Employment. Trainees have a recognised legal status in Malta
which regulates the duration, leave and work stoppages: from ten to 39 weeks

Skills Certificate may be issued at the end of the course.
