Abstract:
Int is a scheme offered by Jobsplus that provides support and advice to women who want to open their own business. This entrepreneurship programme aimed at people of all ages who want to start their own business. The Employment and Training Corporation provides training, personal advice and counselling on how to start a business and successfully make it work, mentoring and financial grants. This programme is part of ETC’s efforts at promoting an enterprise culture in Maltese society. The INT programme is open to unemployed persons who are interested in opening a business. From January 2010 till end of December 2012 there were a total of 74 persons who applied to be enrolled onto this scheme of which 29 were female. The INT scheme is divided into 3 phases. The first and second phases involve an 18-week training programme. The third focuses primarily on the commencement of the business venture. During the remaining 24 weeks, the scheme proceeds on an entrepreneurial level, during which participants conclude their projects on the basis of the training given in the first two phases. A mentoring service is provided to the participants under the scheme. In order to encourage individuals, especially women, to participate in the INT scheme, ETC reimbursed up to €1.30 per hour per child for childcare services utilised throughout the training programme which was increased to € 1.50 per hour with effect from January 2010.
