service and tourism.
Purpose
of their work is to update and validate the ESCO data so that it enables an
efficient matching between skills/competences, jobs and learning opportunities.
To this end, the group will review the occupations, as well as those
skills/competences and qualifications that are specific to the sector.
The
group aims to make a proposal for a complete revision of the sector within a
timeframe of two years.
Members

and includes representatives of public and private stakeholders, policy makers
and key industry stakeholders.

Malta Stakeholders include organization and institutional representatives from
the tourism and business sectors including the GRTU, MHRA and MTA. The
Reference Group expert for Malta is Julian Zarb, Director (Tourism).
The
members of the Reference Group unanimously elected Mr Julian Zarb as chairman
and Mr Geoff Carroll as vice-chairman.
