Award in Employment Law II (28 Sep 2026)

Mon, 28 Sep 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Employing people is becoming increasingly challenging and requires specific knowledge about many current and emerging situations. Sourcing foreign human resources; data protection rights; social media within the workplace are amongst the many issues that are being faced by companies in their engagement with their employees, thus adding to the complexity of the employer/employee relationship.

The Malta Employers’ Association is organising this course to address these matters concretely through the involvement of professionals who are specialised in their respective fields. It will consist of focused sessions during which participants will engage with the trainers to relate the contents of the lectures with their own context and experiences. This course is thus aimed at HR practitioners, employers and persons who are responsible for the HR function within micro organisations who want to keep abreast with the most recent legislation.

SME Week Conference: Making AI work for SMEs (24 Nov 2026)

Tue, 24 Nov 2026 07:15:00 GMT

Artificial Intelligence is already part of everyday life in Malta, with 46.5% of people using generative AI tools in 2025. Yet business adoption is not keeping pace, and productivity remains below the EU average. For Malta’s SMEs, the challenge is no longer whether to engage with AI, but how to make it work productively, safely and responsibly.

The Malta Employers’ SME National Forum, taking place on 24 November 2026 as part of the SME Week programme, will bring together employers, policymakers, public authorities and business stakeholders to explore practical ways for SMEs to move from AI awareness to effective implementation.

The Forum will focus on practical applications, skills and training, productivity, data protection, cybersecurity, human oversight and the evolving EU AI regulatory framework. It will also highlight the support, funding, grants, regulatory sandboxing and advisory services already available to Maltese SMEs.

The objective is clear: to turn discussion into action by connecting businesses with the tools and support they need to adopt AI with confidence and improve productivity.

Join us on 24 November, bring your experience and proposals, and help shape the future of AI and SME competitiveness in Malta
