SMEs, which play a big role in today’s economy, especially in countries like Malta, which depend heavily on them. SMEs have a lot of potential when it comes to the provision of development and employment opportunities, as well as apprenticeships. The problem here is that, very often, SMEs lack the sufficient information, resources, and experience to provide high quality apprenticeships. To support SMEs this EU Talent project aims to create support structures in the form of European and national learning networks.
Therefore, this project aims to:
- Increase awareness on the benefits of apprenticeships,
- Increase opportunities for uptake of apprenticeships,
- Improve the quality of the apprenticeships,
- Identify and remove policy obstacles to engage in apprenticeships.
The main activities and deliverables of the project:
- 50.000+ SMEs through awareness raising,
- 1.200 SMEs through learning networks,
- 100 SMEs through pilot programmes to improve the quality of their apprenticeships.
EU Talent offers a number of benefits to businesses. These include, among other things, enhancing the reputation of the employer and business, as well as attracting, and making the most of, new and diverse talent, whilst equipping youngsters with the necessary skills for the current labour market. This will then lead to easier access of talented potential employees.
