Malta's economy is constantly evolving, requiring a delicate balance between fortifying existing industries and enhancing the competitive edge for emerging ones. This ongoing transformation generates a need for not only current skills but also new ones, to meet the demands of future industries.
MCAST Gateway to Industry is committed to helping meet this demand by assisting people in achieving a level of readiness that enables them to adapt their skills and learn new knowledge.
The courses and degrees on offer by MG2i are various and include different fields such as Applied Sciences, Agriculture, Aquatics and Marine Animals. Business Management and Commerce, Creative Arts, Engineering and Transport, Community Services, IICT, and more. Courses that have MQF recognition and work recognition put a significant emphasis on a different approach to learning, especially in arts, sciences, and technologies.
Most courses incorporate practical approaches through placements, industry exposure, and hands-on supervised practice using both simulators and live case scenarios. Additionally, some courses offer a more comprehensive learning experience by including practical approaches or work placements. Specific programmes, such as degrees in engineering, even lead to warrant eligibility.
