The responsibilities of the eSkills Malta Foundation include enhancing digital skills within Maltese society through initiatives such as skilling, upskilling, and reskilling. In line with this objective, the Foundation offers training courses, sessions, and events for specific closed groups or those open to the public. Recognising the need to expand coding and coding-related digital skills in Malta, the Foundation aims to increase accessibility to such skills, catering to individuals with varied levels of expertise. By contracting training providers as done in previous years through a Request for Quote process, the Foundation successfully provided targeted coding and digital skills education sessions to diverse audiences, including females, teachers and educators, employees in SMEs, adults, and senior citizens.
