Participating in the Summer Traineeship Scheme can be a great way for students to gain practical experience, enhance their skills, and explore potential career paths. The Summer Traineeship Scheme is targeted to students reading for EQF levels 6 & 7 (excluding ICT or IT related areas of study) at the Malta College for Arts Science and Technology (MCAST), the University of Malta (UoM) or any other tertiary education institution in Malta.

Students who are selected for a Summer Traineeship under this Scheme are posted in a Ministry or Entity in the Public Administration of Malta and assigned work relevant to their area of studies.

During Summer 2024, the Summer Traineeship Scheme will open its doors for students coming from a variety of areas of studies:

- Summer Traineeship Scheme – General Positions - students reading for courses related to Accounts, Finance, HR, International Relations, Research, Economics, Policy, EU Affairs, Management and others.
