Skills Zone Malta is a professional training hub specialising in entrepreneurship, personal development, and soft skills. We deliver training in both face-to-face and online environments. With 19.6 million tertiary education students in the EU in 2016, employers increasingly value soft skills - particularly in areas such as communication, emotional intelligence, problem-solving, presentation, time management, interpersonal skills, marketing, goal setting, social media, and leadership & management.
Maryrose, the founder of Skills Zone Malta, drew on her seventeen years of experience in entrepreneurship and EU funding programmes to tap into this growing niche. She successfully built a dynamic network of experts in entrepreneurship, personal development, and empowerment, enabling people to navigate their environment, collaborate effectively, perform confidently, and achieve their full potential.
At Skills Zone Malta, we believe strongly in experiential learning. Our soft skills training courses are based on a “learning by doing” approach, supported by state-of-the-art infrastructure for hands-on exercises and real-world simulations. This practical methodology ensures that participants gain knowledge and develop the confidence to apply it effectively in their workplace, business, or daily life.
We also design tailored courses to meet individual needs, complemented by a mentoring programme lasting at least three months. This ensures that participants receive ongoing support to grow, develop, and become their best version.
One-to-One Mentoring Packages
Mentorship is about giving someone the gift of time, knowledge, and guidance. Director Maryrose Frainca has been fortunate to benefit from several inspiring mentors throughout her life, starting with her own grandmother. Their support was invaluable in helping her navigate pivotal moments and achieve success.
With over seventeen years of experience in entrepreneurship and EU funding programmes, Maryrose is now committed to giving back by sharing this gift of knowledge with others. Through her mentorship, she helps shape the trajectory of businesses—whether by offering guidance on business plans, refining pitches, or making key introductions that open important doors.
To make this support accessible and tailored to individual needs, Skills Zone Malta offers One-to-One Mentoring Packages. Participants can choose between online or face-to-face sessions, designed to provide practical guidance and accountability. Packages include:
• 30, 50, or 100 hours of mentoring •
• Spread flexibly over 3, 6, or 12 months •
Whether someone feels stuck in a routine, wants to develop new skills, or is ready to launch a business but doesn’t know where to start, these packages provide structured, personalised support to reach their goals.
