MITA's Student Placement Programme: the
THE Student Placement Programme
(SPP) is an annual, mutually beneficial
programme for ICT and ICT related
students and employers of all sectors
during the summer season. This year's
programme will be officially ending
next week.
The programme aims to reduce the
mismatch between supply and demand
for ICT skills in the Maltese labour
market.
With the help of this programme
employers can have a more diversified
workforce as they employ new genera-
tions with new talents and a variety of
ideas into their organisation.
With an investment of over €750,000
in student salaries, a total number of
396 students and 113 employers bene-
fited from the programme.
This year, to reduce the financial bur-
den that came about due to the pan-
demic, MITA will be reimbursing 75%
of the students' salary to private em-
ployers and 100% of the salary cost to
the NGOs and public sector.
If you would like more information
about the Student Placement Pro-
gramme please send us an email on spp.
mita@gov.mt to assist you.
The above graphic shows the sectors the students were placed in, and how
many employers from each sector benefited from this year's programme
This year MITA had a total of 25 new employers, six from NGOs and 19 from the private sector. It reached out
