The Institute of Tourism Studies (ITS) is Malta's main educational institution for hospitality and tourism. The ITS is a member of the Pact for Skills aiming at ensuring the right skills for jobs, initiatives to support people in their lifelong learning pathways, and a framework to unlock investments in skills.
The setting up of the ITS Training School is the primary contribution of ITS in light of the Pact for Skills agenda. The Training School provides off-the-shelf and bespoke training to the industry and general public aiming to address the skills gap and enhance the skill sets within the hospitality and tourism related sectors. Thus the agenda of upskilling and reskilling is the core business of the training school. 
The Training School was launched on the 23 February 2023 and is already running and reaching training agreements with the industry.
