MCAST and the world-renowned tool company Milwaukee have announced a  collaboration through which the College will be receiving over 55 types of power tools, worth over €19,000, to be used by its engineering students during practical sessions at its workshops.

MCAST's Institute of Building and Construction Engineering, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering and the Institute of Mechanical Engineering will be receiving the new tools to be used in their respective workshops, where students conduct several practical sessions throughout the year. The availability of these new, advanced tools will enable the students to further their experience in the hands-on skills related to their areas of study.

The agreement, which was reached with the support of the company's Maltese sole agents Protrade Ltd, will also lead to further collaborations, including the organisation of seminars and lectures delivered by Milwaukee specialists, the sponsorship of Recognition of Achievement awards for students, study visits to Milwaukee centres abroad, as well as the sharing of other resources and tool innovations with the College's students, explained Mr Attard.

Milwaukee has successfully implemented similar collaborations with vocational education institutions in the USA, Australia and the UK.
