ABOUT CDRT

The Centre for Development Research and Training (CDRT) is intended to fill a long-standing void in Public Administration by linking the training and development function on one side and policy research on the other.

 

The Centre:

  • Identifies the training and development needs of Public Officers in the light of Government priorities and policy directions;
  • Provides advice and support in relation to identifying and meeting training and development needs;
  • Designs and delivers training and development programmes that are accredited as and where appropriate, whether at vocational or higher levels;
  • Enters into arrangements with the University of Malta and other institutions for the purpose of such accreditation;
  • Carries out research on Public Administration issues in particular those that give rise to training and development needs.

 

Pre-Selection Exercise

 

During 2008, the Centre was given the additional responsibility to introduce innovative methods of pre-selection of applicants at headship level by way of a pilot project.  As from 2009, this has become an on-going task of the Centre and it will continue to employ profiling tests and extended interviews as part of the pre-selection process for Directors and Directors General.

 

Each applicant for a headship position within the Public Service is expected to undergo a meeting for a preliminary screening process by the CDRT.  This process serves to assess whether a candidate possesses the key requirements and capabilities necessary for a headship role in the Public Service.

 

The Centre also helps to address, through coaching and mentoring, the developmental needs of officials aspiring to occupy head positions within the Public Service.
