Malta Chamber of SMEs COO, Mr Andrew Aquilina, participated in a panel discussion held as part of a three-day initiative organised by the National Skills Council, which brought together representatives from 10 different industry sectors.
The discussions focused on the growing skills misalignment between education and industry, while exploring practical solutions to address this disconnect. Mr Aquilina shared valuable insights from the perspective of SMEs, emphasising the need for stronger collaboration between education providers and industry stakeholders to better reflect labour market realities.
The sessions provided a platform for open dialogue, highlighting key challenges faced by employers and encouraging joint efforts towards more relevant education outcomes.
Council Member Donha Muscat and Head of Policy Jamie Tanti, together with Mr Aquilina, also facilitated various workshops.
Three days of constructive conversations, shared perspectives, and a clear commitment towards tangible outcomes.
