EU-funded programme for tourism managers, supervisors reopening

An EU-funded training programme for people working in tourism – Advance - Training Tourism Leaders, is accepting applications for its second intake of participants.

€3 million have been allocated to the programme, being held under the auspices of the Malta Tourism Authority. It is fully funded by the European Social Fund and the government.

A total of 450 managers and supervisors are being trained for the first intake and soon after openings for the second intake were announced 300 places were secured.

This nationwide training programme, the first of its kind in Malta, is being offered on two platforms - one for senior managers and another for those in supervisory and middle management positions in the tourism and hospitality sector. It is also open to those who are not currently working in tourism but are interested in being trained to move to it.

Both programmes are being taught by 12 foreign world class speakers. One-to-one mentoring is offered to participants and training sessions will be held in leading tourism establishments.
