7# Making Better Use Of Malta’s Talent.


Making Better Use Of Malta’s Talent.


How do we ensure skills are used to their full potential?

Developing skills is only part of the challenge. Skills must also be effectively used in workplaces and across society. Malta faces challenges such as underutilised talent and the loss of skilled people to opportunities abroad.

This priority focuses on improving how skills are recognised and applied, supporting better management practices, and valuing transversal skills developed through work, education, and life experience.

Making better use of talent helps individuals feel valued, improves productivity, and supports innovation. When skills are fully utilised, both people and organisations are better positioned to succeed.
