A programme that funds job placement opportunities for students studying ICT or related subjects is to receive a funding boost, to incentivise private firms to take on young trainees.
The MITA Student Placement Programme for 2021 will have an €800,000 budget, Economy Minister Silvio Schembri said, with companies receiving a 75 per cent reimbursement of basic salary costs, compared to the 50 per cent they received previously.
In practical terms, participating private organisations will benefit from an additional student salary of around €500 per student employed as part of the program, he said.
Reimbursement for the public sector will remain at 100 per cent of salary.

Gutenberg will be investing in a new €7 million factory in Bulebel, Economy Minister Silvio Schembri was told on Friday during an on-site visit.
The investment is being supported by INDIS Malta, the entity responsible for the administration of government-owned industrial parks and related facilities.
Director Boleslav Spiteri said Gutenberg planned on developing the site to meet the needs of a modern packaging facility, which would allow the company to operate and compete in an ever-complex and competitive market.
“Such projects require more space especially because work is bulky and requires a substantial amount of space. The investment is estimated to be over €7 million split between the construction of the site and new machinery.
