More employers seek ETC recruitment

A growing number of employers and HR managers are using the recruitment services offered by the Employment and Training Corporation (ETC).

Over the past 10 years, vacancies posted with ETC have exceeded 86,000. ETC has a large database of people looking for a job, and as soon as the corporation is notified of a vacancy, it informs jobseekers who wish to work in a particular sector. ETC also publishes the vacancy at its job centres and on its website, also making it available at MCAST and the University of Malta.

Since ETC is a member of the European Employment Services, all local vacancies are promoted across Europe. The corporation also sends information on job vacancies, including those published on newspapers, to its customer database daily via e-mail.

A number of local job fairs are organised each year. Companies looking for new employees are invited to set up their own stand to meet those looking for a job. The ETC also offers companies the opportunity to hold recruitment campaigns at its job centres, and markets them on the local media and directly with jobseekers. These events, which are usually held at the Valletta Job Centre in St Zachary Street, usually enjoy a good turnout.

The corporation can be reached at vacancy.etc@gov.mt or by calling 2220 1220.
