Furthermore, thanks to “Job Experience”, an online space connected to the most popular social networks, it will be possible to gain access to a list of traineeships offered by Tourism Operators, Hospitality and Tourism Institutions present in the said areas.
“OBIMED” was organized by the Local Council of Sciacca in collaboration with the Italian-Maltese Chamber of Commerce, the Local Council of Għarb in Gozo, the Local Council of Castelvetrano and the Malta Tourism Society.
