MEA in partnership with the Employment and Training Corporation, the Ministry of Finance, and RKW Kompetenzzentrum, the German Centre for Productivity, has been awarded EU Structural Funds for a project “Capacity Building for Equipping and Representing Micro business Employers”.
The project aims to:
i) Create public awareness about the need of micro business employers to be informed and active in policies and good employment practices
ii) Equip, involve and facilitate the participation of micro business employers for this purpose
iii) Have more informed and active micro business employers in related policy development and implementation in Malta.
The project aims to reach at least 750 micro enterprises and encourage them to be informed and participate in discussions on EU directives related to employment issues.
It will run for the next two years and will come to an end with a conference, expected to be held in the third quarter of 2012, where the project results will be published.
