Serving as an official link between students and the relevant authorities
Achieving the democratisation of education in Malta
Coordinating activities together with other organisations
Cultivating students’ interest in the educational field, and in socio-political and cultural issues
Pressuring authorities into assuring the highest level of quality in Higher Education

The MCCA took over from what was known as the Department of Culture which was part of the Ministry of Culture in 2003. The MCCA is authorized and obliged by the Act, amongst other objectives, to advance funds allocated by Government for the management, administration and operational requirements of the following government entities: Fondazzjoni Patrimonju Malti, Malta Society of Arts, Manufacturing and Commerce, Manoel Theatre, Mediterranean Conference Centre, the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra and the Centre for Creativity at St. James Cavalier. The MCCA encourages and promotes culture from a wide socio-economic perspective. The MCCA is also the cultural advisor to the Ministry of Culture. The MCCA operates at arm’s length from Government and is currently responsible for the organisation of the national festivals such as the Malta Arts Festival, the Mediterranean Folk Music Festival (Għanafest), Carnival, the Malta Jazz Festival and Notte Bianca, which form an intrinsic part of

Our core values of Excellence, Teamwork and Leadership are the foundation of our organization and guide all our actions and behaviours. In particular, we are committed to making PwC a great place to work and these values help create an environment where our people can flourish through our commitment to enhance a coaching culture; diverse overseas opportunities and a dedicated learning and education programme. By enrolling in either of our 2 programmes, we offer our students excellent development opportunities:
CareerDeal programme - CareerDeal, a student internship programme that has been successfully running for a number of years, aims to strike a healthy balance between the support an accountancy student needs throughout their university studies, and the coaching they require to better prepare themselves for the profession. PwC invests in CareerDeal students by offering them chance to participate in our Corporate Social Responsibility programme, attend tutorials, job shadow and experience work in the different lines of service.
ACCA full-time study programme – Our ACCA programme aims to accelerate the learning curve of our students and offers a fast track route into the profession. PwC Academy will provide students with dedicated classroom tuition to ensure that they are thoroughly prepared for the ACCA exams. This programme is planned over approximately 6 examination sittings and during this time the firm invests in students by offering a monthly study grant. Although on a full-time study basis, PwC will expose students to work in the different lines of service to help compliment their studies with practical experience.
Accounting students who have started their second year of B.Commerce degree and have Accountancy as one of their major subjects are eligible to apply for the PwC CareerDeal programme
Students with a background in accountancy as well as those having a background in disciplines other than accounting who are in their final year of studies and are willing to take on their ACCA studies full-time are eligible to join the ACCA full-time study programme.
CareerDeal programme / ACCA full-time study programme – We will be holding two presentations (one for each programme) to explain who we are and the opportunities that the firm has to offer. Students eligible to the relevant programme (see above) are invited to attend our presentation and to bring along with them the application form (also available on our website: www.pwc.com/mt) together with a passport sized photo, a CV and a transcript of academic results so far.

European Union Programmes Agency (EUPA)
The EUPA supports Maltese individuals and entities in availing themselves of funding under the various educational programmes provided by the European Commission. Yet the aim of the agency is not simply a financial contribution but to contribute towards a holistic development of the community as an advanced knowledge society.
Apart from the main Education and Training programmes, which are the Youth in Action and Lifelong Learning Programme (Erasmus, Leonardo da Vinci, Comenius and Grundtvig), the agency manages locally the following information points:
Eurodesk Malta, which is part of a European network of information services in 33 countries providing a unique access to European information for young people and those who work with them. More information about Eurodesk Malta at www.eurodesk.org.mt.
Euroguidance Malta, which is part of a network of centres linking together the Careers Guidance systems in Europe.

Europass
Europass is an initiative that helps people make their skills and qualifications easier to understand. This initiative consists of 5 documents developed at European level with the aim to make qualifications more transparent. Europass also aims to facilitate mobility across Europe and encourage lifelong learning.
The Europass initiative provides a chance for individuals to communicate their qualifications, skills and competences more effectively, when looking for a job, enrolling in an education or training programme, or getting experience abroad. It therefore makes it easier for employers to understand the qualifications and competences of job-seekers from other EU Member States. It also helps education, training and guidance practitioners to advice people about the most suitable learning paths and opportunities.
Europass has a number of benefits associated with it, by providing a comprehensive tool for users based on an accessible electronic format. It makes it possible for people with different backgrounds and experience to gain access to employment and learning throughout Europe - supporting, mobility between countries and across employment sectors. Europass is a tool supporting employment since employers receive comparable information from different applicants. Employers can therefore better assess the proper value of qualifications and skills. Moreover, it promotes cooperation and possible synergies between education & training and industry with the aim to ensure relevance of competences and qualifications. Europass is an open system that supports European policy developments related to the transparency of competences and qualifications.

Awards will also be presented for the seven classic categories held each year, including the Presenter’s Choice Award, and the Viewer’s Choice Award.
To vote, listeners need to text in the artist or band name to the unique SMS number supplied for that category. Voting is restricted to 3 SMS’s per category from a single mobile number, with each SMS is charged at a rate of €0.49. Those voting can do so until the closing date on Sunday, 4th December, and will also stand a chance of winning an entertainment-packed weekend by casting a vote.
