The guests were hosted at MCAST by College Administration Deputy Principal Mr Philip Vella, Mr Member of the Board of Governors and Chairperson of the Internal Audit Committee Mr Anthony Scicluna, and MCAST Internal Audit Director Mr Mario Pace.

They were shown around the MCAST Resource Centre, with special attention being given to MCAST’s state-of-the-art library. They were also shown the new block being finished which will soon host the ICT Institute.
