The Ministry for Education and Employment has launched a new scholarship scheme specifically aimed at the financial service sector.
This sector is facing difficulties to fill specific vacancies, both at top and lower levels, mainly due to professional, technical and practical skill gaps. The scholarship scheme aims to address this through specialised training in various areas of the financial services.
The sectors offered include: banking, financial institutions, insurance, insurance intermediaries, investment services, trust and trust management.
Through an agreement between the Malta Financial Services Authority and the Ministry for Education and Employment, for a period of two consecutive years €50,000 per annum out of the annual profit generated by MFSA is to be used to provide short-term scholarships at advanced level.
An information meeting will be held on February 28 at 5.15pm at the Ministry for Education and Employment.
Applications will be accepted until March 14 on https://edumalta.gov.mt/en/financial-services-scholarships-scheme
