Investing in Skills for Malta employers

Most small Maltese businesses miss out on up to 70% of their eligible training costs.

6 in 10 small businesses in Malta do not train their staff. 8 in 10 big firms do. The Investing in Skills scheme helps close that gap, and Think Talent runs the training and walks you through the claim.

FAQ

Questions employers ask

Is IIS a tax credit?

No. IIS is a Jobsplus grant. You sign a Grant Agreement, pay for the training, and Jobsplus reimburses the eligible costs after the training.

When does the application need to go in?

At least 7 days before the training starts. Jobsplus recommends 21 days, so the sooner you book, the easier it is.

What if the fund runs out?

The current call has a 2 million euro budget and runs first come, first served. Applications close on 31 December 2026, or earlier if the budget is used up.
