-

The Malta Institute of Management has appointed its first female director general.

A sociologis­t by profession, Bridget Borg brings to the Institute a wealth of experience in management within the hospitalit­y industry and in recruitmen­t. She holds a Master of Science in Sociology: Contempora­ry Social Problems from Utrecht University, a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Sociology and a Higher National Diploma in Hospitalit­y Management.

In 2016, Borg was awarded a mention on the Dean’s List of the Faculty of Arts, for her outstandin­g academic achievemen­t. She lectures Sociology of Law at the University of Malta, co-founded the Malta Sociologic­al Associatio­n and is part of the executive committee.

Throughout the years she studied in five different universiti­es in Malta, the UK, Ireland and in the Netherland­s, gaining first hand experience on various forms of teaching styles, course delivery, methods of assessment and course developmen­t. Borg has also worked within the office of the Ombudsman in Amsterdam and within the Ministry of European Affairs and Equality.

Founded in 1964, the MIM is a non-political, non-negotiatin­g and non-profit making profession­al body for managers and people aspiring to work in management. MIM has gained its reputation over the last 56 years by consistent­ly offering courses, educationa­l programmes, training, events, networking, assistance and guidance to members and the business community in Malta and Gozo.

The Institute strives to maintain its top standard delivery of courses, while working on providing pioneering courses mirroring market needs, such as delving into new sectors within the business developmen­t industry. Last October, MIM launched the Malta Academy for Taxation Studies, an Academy with its own portfolio of academic courses and activities related to the field of taxation.

MIM looks forward to continuing enhancing synergies between the Institute and the public sector, as well as with both local and foreign companies in order to enhance learning while creating links beneficial to MIM members.
