About P-MAX@SPA

P-Max@SPA is a key programme that helps to Place and Train Professionals, Managers, Executives and Technicians (PMETs) in SMEs.

  • Understand the SME landscape, face challenges and seize opportunities
  • Develop a growth mindset and self-confidence to excel
  • Acquire and apply critical thinking and essential workplace skills to contribute effectively and deliver results aligned with their SME’s goals
 
P-Max@SPA also seeks to help SMEs:
  • Better recruit, train, manage and retain their newly hired PMETs,
  • Encourage the adoption of progressive human resource practices within SMEs
  • Help to place job-seeking PMETs into suitable SME jobs
​
