The eSkills Malta Foundation is a National Coalition made up of representatives from the Government, industry and education who can contribute to the increase in digital skills and the development of the IT profession and assist it in fulfilling its mandates.
The Foundation advises the Government and relevant stakeholders on matters related to eSkills policies; contributes to the expansion of ICT educational programmes and related formative initiatives; leads an ICT professionalism development programme; instigates further reform in the ICT educational offerings and contributes to capacity-building of the ICT education community, and, finally; champions campaigns and promotes the Maltese eSkills potential locally and internationally.
International best practices indicate that multi-sectoral partnerships are one of the key approaches in achieving synergy in the sustainable development of the right digital skills. The eSkills Malta Foundation was set up by the Maltese Government to reflect this paradigm of inclusive synergy.
The founding members of the foundation are the Ministry for Education and Employment, the Malta Information Technology Agency, the Malta Communications Authority, Malta Enterprise, the Malta Gaming Authority, and the Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry.
Its general aim is the expansion and sustainable growth of the ICT skills in Malta through the development of a broad set of skills from early on in life, throughout one’s career and employment, which will ultimately boost employability, competitiveness and growth in the digital economy. The foundation collaborates with the founder members and other local and foreign organisations to achieve this more effectively.
