2.3 Lifelong Learning and Social Inclusion


Strengthening the human capital and providing training based on needs are core requirements to ensure a flexible and adjustable workforce in Malta, able to cope with the rapid changes evolving from a globalised economy. In order to facilitate and mobilise this key resource this Measure provides a number of initiatives to support the scaling-up of qualifications. Actions include a needs assessment in terms of training content (with particular focus on the tourism sector and tourism support services), the provision of responsive training schemes, the provision of research and mobility bursary grants and tackling the issue of integrating both, disabled and socially excluded persons pro-actively into the Maltese labour market through specific employment schemes.
