he European Gaming Institute of Malta (EGIM) was officially launched as a joint venture between the Malta Gaming Authority and Mcast.

The aim of the EGIM is to nurture more talent within the gaming sector and the creation of long-term careers by means of educational programmes which will enhance the sustainability and growth of the workforce within the industry.

The MGA will support the development of the educational programmes, but will also enable the transfer of the industry’s knowledge to Mcast.

MGA chairman Joseph Cuschieri said the project had been in the pipeline for more than two years.

The president of the MCAST board Silvio de Bono said that, as from next year, Mcast will be offering two master’s courses related to this sector.

The European Gaming Institute of Malta will offer a mix of short-term courses, diplomas, and master’s programmes for potential candidates coming from non-related gaming industries.
