Simonds Farsons Cisk has been awarded the Training at Work Award in the Malta VET Awards.

The award recognises the value of professional and practical on-the-job learning practices for employees and highlights the importance of lifelong learning.

Celebrating the recognition, the company said “the learning programme at Farsons is a comprehensive one, including technical, people and management development as well as learning on wellbeing, diversity and inclusion.”

Antoinette Caruana, the company’s Group HR Manager and Company Secretary affirmed it “believes that the successful performance of the organisation is very much linked to the performance of its people and their continued development and learning at work.”

“Developing employees and potential employees, including apprentices, to deliver sustainable and quality driven operations, to be creative, to be engaged and to adapt is a critical aspect of the Farsons Group’s mission”, she continued.

The Malta VET Awards, a series of awards for the Vocational Learning and Training sector, were launched by the Ministry of Education in October 2020, as part of a programme of initiatives to celebrate the vocational sector.
