Once again the Office for Human Resources Management & Development, in conjunction with the Finance Office, held two training sessions of 2 hours each on the ‘Procurement System’ for all members of staff of the University of Malta.   These  were held on 23rd and 25th September 2008.

The aim of these short training sessions was to make participants aware of the procurement process carried out within the Finance Office, in order for members of staff to be able to adopt the policies more effectively.  Ms Dorothy Camilleri, the training course tutor, presented information on the functions of the Procurement Section; Procurement Regulations & Purchasing Policies; Process of Purchase Orders at Finance Office; Process of Invoices; Inventory; and Petty Cash Policy Guidelines.  

The training sessions were held in two groups of fifteen participants each.  Trainees were given the opportunity to provide their general feedback on the training session by means of an evaluation form, distributed to them at the end of the session.  A certificate of attendance was provided to all participants.  

Members of staff who attended:  Annhelica Agius, Noel Agius, Daniela Attard, Stephanie Azzopardi, Jonathan Barbara, Shirley Borg, Corinne Brincat, Krystle Bugeja, Mario Cassar, Maria Ruth Ciantar, Marvic Cuschieri, Bertha Darmanin, Jesmond Debattista, Claudette Esposito, Charlene Fabri, Laura Falzon, Elaine Grech, Raymond Mamo, Eliseann Mifsud, Victoria Muscat, Monica Pizzuto, Albert S.
