                 www.bollettinoadapt.it/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/innovating_tvet_framework.pdf
                 Considering that in Malta 97,3% of all businesses are SMEs with less than 10 employees, the Malta
                 College of Arts, Science and Technology (MCAST) was established in 2001 to teach students how to
                 start and operate successful small businesses.
                 Until 2019, MCAST provided more than 180 full-time vocational courses to 4000 part-time students
                 and  more  than  300  part-time  vocational  courses  to  7000  students,  involving  more  than  750
                 teachers and trainers. All courses are fully accredited by Malta Qualifications Framework (MQF) and
                 European Qualifications Framework (EQF).
                 Key takeaways:
                    -   Building on 20 years at the forefront of TVET education in Malta, MCAST aims to strengthen
                        young people’s spirit of initiative and entrepreneurship.
                    -   Continuously evaluating and challenging teaching and learning, products and services, and
                        the  ecosystem,  MCAST  creates  new  opportunities  and  ensures  that  existing  practices
                        remain dynamic and relevant.

                 All the programmes created by MCAST reflect the trends and demands of the local industry; in fact,
                 they are even aligning with international TVET goals such as the Sustainable Development Goals,
                 which immediate impact should be local. For this reason, MCAST strategy reflects this reality and
                 uses  it  as  a  guideline  to  shape  policy,  curricula,  and  campus  culture  –  an  approach  that  TVET
                 institutions can replicate.
