Malta is in a good position to encourage operations of this nature because of the availability of a well-educated workforce, a high number of professionally qualified and trained personnel, coupled with the excellent telecommunication facilities and air links. Added important advantages are the very moderate and comparatively low office and employment costs.
The availability of qualified and competent staff is absolutely vital for a back office operation to flourish. The four hundred year old Malta University and a number of other higher educational establishments annually produce a significant number of motivated students trained in modern disciplines such as computer studies and information technology, marketing, communications, law, accountancy, management, financial services and a host of other related fields of study.
The Maltese labour force has always been recognised for its flexibility, competence and work ethic. Apart from fluency in English, which is one of the Island's national languages most Maltese enjoy a reasonable working knowledge of other European languages primarily Italian with French and German becoming increasingly popular.
