A funding programme entitled Investing in Skills (IIS) encourages those actively engaged in the Maltese labour market to pursue training in order to boost flexibility and productivity. A significant percentage of the training expenses that an employer would have incurred to train staff members are covered by this scheme.
To apply for this scheme, employers with any kind of economic activity are eligible. These include partnerships, corporations, family enterprises, organisations, self-employed individuals or other groups of people, non-governmental organisations, and social partners (regardless of whether they engage in economic activity).
