This opportunity arose through an international collaboration and partnership between the University of Malta and the University of Montana, established following a 2022 workforce development knowledge-sharing and research scholarship visit. The programme, hosted by the Department of Public Administration and Policy at the University of Montana, reflects the shared commitment of both institutions to advancing global standards in public sector education.
