Oct 10 2023

Prime Minister Robert Abela emphasised the significance of the investment in the Center of Excellence at MCAST during his visit to the Freshers’ Week at the Raħal Ġdid campus.

This investment, said Abela, aligns with the government’s vision for the next ten years, prioritising innovation and vocational education as part of the changes happening in our country to ensure that young people have quality careers in Malta.

The Prime Minister noted that the ongoing investment in the Research and Innovation Center and the new ICT Institute will provide students with top-notch facilities to develop vocational skills and subsequently excel in MCAST, offering them the best opportunities that industries have to offer.

He emphasised that these changes aim to enhance the quality of life by investing strongly in the skills of Maltese and Gozitan youth, who will then bring value to their families and society.

Furthermore, the Prime Minister highlighted the importance of vocational education, emphasising that the government will continue to promote and support it through the establishment of the Crafts Center at MCAST.

This commitment is another electoral promise from the government’s ‘Malta Together’ program, which aims to improve vocational skills for students inclined towards this field.

Prime Minister Abela also stressed the importance of workers’ rights, ensuring that students and workers aspiring in this field receive the necessary training and dignity, as they are also contributors to an economy based on quality.

During his meetings with young people on the MCAST campus, the Prime Minister was accompanied by Minister for Education, Sports, Youth, Research and Innovation Clifton Grima, Government Deputy Amanda Spiteri Grech, MCAST Principal Joachim James Calleja, and MCAST Student Council President Rohasia Zammit.

Little Things You Can Do To Help Your Mental Health

Oct 10 2023

Mental well-being is a multifaceted concept. It encompasses how we perceive our emotions, our ability to navigate everyday challenges, and what feels achievable in the present moment.

It’s important to note that good mental well-being doesn’t equate to perpetual happiness or immunity to life’s trials.

Furthermore, experiencing good well-being doesn’t necessarily mean the absence of a mental health issue.

You may grapple with a mental health challenge while maintaining a sense of well-being. Conversely, one may not have a diagnosed mental health concern but still struggle with their overall well-being.

Diminished mental well-being can heighten the challenges of daily life. However, there are practical steps you can take each day to make this journey more manageable as you seek professional assistance.

Here is a short list of actions you can undertake immediately to extend love and support to yourself, which you rightfully deserve.
