PN pledges to strengthen Malta as a maritime hub<\/p>\n
The Nationalist Party on Wednesday pledged to work to improve the maritime sector, which can also offer exciting, high-quality jobs to Maltese workers, a party statement said.<\/p>\n
During a visit to Maritime MT as part of activities related to Workers’ Day, PN leader Alex Borg said 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The PN leader 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
