Industry teams up with MCAST
Work-based learning (WBL) is at the heart of vocational education and training. In particular, the apprenticeship scheme in Malta allows industry companies to offer the opportunity for students to work and learn at the same time. At the same time, students provide local industry companies with a unique opportunity to recruit talent and develop the required human capital.
