I am very proud to have mentored Ms Jade Vella in her undergraduate research titled: “Perceptions and Impacts of Local Education within the ICT Field” which was also presented in the MCAST Qualitative Research Conference held between the 4th and 7th December 2023, and eventually published in the MCAST Research Journal. In this study, we applied a triangulation of perspectives starting with the use of Factor Analysis of Mixed Data on scrapped education and professional data of 200 graduates which gave initial insights shaping the subsequent surveys and interviews.
