Institute for the Public Services

The Institute for the Public Services (IPS) serves as a centre of excellence for the training and development of public officers in Malta. Established to enhance the capabilities of the public administration, the institute provides a wide range of training programmes, courses, and research initiatives. Its mission is to foster a culture of continuous learning, helping the Malta Public Service deliver policies and programmes that meet the needs of the government and citizens. The institute operates under the authority of the Maltese government and collaborates with other educational entities to create degree programmes for public officers. It is located in Floriana, occupying the former Public Lotto Department premises. By institutionalizing training, the IPS ensures that professional development is an integral part of public administration management.
