Together with Jobsplus and Malta Enterprise the
NCFHE has undertaken a research project on skills needs as well as the supply
and demand for workers in different sectors of the labour market in Malta. This
research formed part of the Erasmus+ project “Promoting the
Bologna Process in Malta 2014-2016”.
The objective of this research was to collect solid evidence about the number
of employees in different sectors of the Maltese economy and undertake a skills
forecast in terms of the number of staff required / decreased in the medium and
long-term. Besides that, the survey collected data on recent recruitments,
types of vacancies that are hard to fill and the reasons for such situations.
It also aimed to collect data on the knowledge, skills and competences and
training needs in different sectors of the Maltese economy.
The data collection has been carried out among a representative sample of
employers in Malta during the first quarter of 2016 based on telephone interviews
and an online questionnaire. The findings of this research were presented on 20
July 2016. This launch event aimed to collect input from experts in the
different economic sector to help in the analysis of the data collected.
The report was completed in October 2017.
