Our country still has significant potential in the maritime sector. This sector can not only contribute far more strongly to our economy, but can also offer exciting, high-quality jobs to Maltese workers.
During a visit to Maritime MT as part of activities related to Workers’ Day, the Leader of the Partit Nazzjonalista explained how a Nationalist Government aims to elevate our country to a level of excellence in the maritime sector by strengthening it through an authority fully dedicated to this sector.
He also stated that he wants to strengthen educational institutions that provide training to students in this field, such as Maritime MT, by ensuring that students attending receive a stipend just like students in other post-secondary institutions. This will ensure that our country has the trained workforce it needs to continue investing in the maritime sector. Alex Borg added that, to begin encouraging students towards a career in this field from a young age, subjects related to the maritime sector should be introduced at secondary school level.
The Leader of the Partit Nazzjonalista said that in the coming days the Party will be launching an important project in the maritime sector, and therefore it is crucial to have a trained workforce in place.
Maritime MT is a private institution that offers training to seafarers and to anyone wishing to develop skills for work related to the maritime sector.
Chief Executive Officer of Maritime MT Pauline Micallef praised the proposals of the Partit Nazzjonalista and said that more emphasis is needed to ensure that a passion for the sea and the maritime sector reaches students from a young age. She added that our country can offer many opportunities if the necessary investment is made.
Accompanying Leader of the Partit Nazzjonalista Alex Borg during this visit were Shadow Minister for Employment, the Maritime Sector and Aviation Ivan Castillo and Shadow Minister for Education Justin Schembri.
