Last month a group of just under 40 MCAST students were invited for a visit at the FTIAS offices in Qormi. The aim of this visit was to educate students on recruitment issues and also to let them see the wide range of career opportunities the company has at the moment.

FTIAS Ltd is currently looking to reach 200 employees by the end of this year, representing a 60% increase over a span of two years and is also projecting to get to 275 employees by the end of 2016.

“While it’s always great to welcome those interested in our business, at FTIAS, we love welcoming school groups and teachers in particular as this allow us to showcase the FTIAS culture. At FTIAS, we strive for best practice and over the years we have embarked on the six sigma projects to develop the required skills and competencies. On the other hand, we also take seriously opportunities for social interaction and leisure. We have formed a Sports and Social Committee, which is responsible for organising events and activities on an ongoing basis. Whatever we go in for, we go in with an unrelenting passion and enthusiasm to make it the best experience we possibly can,” explained Calvin Cassar, HR manager at FTIAS.

MCAST students had the chance to watch a visual presentation about recruitment, tips on job searching and CV formation. Moreover, they also had the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the diverse career paths at FTIAS.

After the presentation given by Mr Cassar, the students also met the company’s managers and administrators.
