Education

We have strong links with various educational bodies, focusing in particular on extending skills in brewing, the drinks industry and hospitality. We also aim to support all our members and those requiring our assistance at every stage of their career and help them reach their full potential. Every part of the industry is supported; business owners, managers, staff, students and suppliers.

• Two brewing students at Heriot Watt University are supported each year by the Maltmen.
• The Incorporation of Maltmen in Glasgow sponsors an annual award for students in Hospitality and Tourism Management at the University of Strathclyde. This sponsorship is awarded to a student demonstrating academic excellence and application of class concepts on relevant practical cases through a written assignment and presentation.
• The Incorporation helps students at the City of Glasgow College in a number of ways. The annual award for the top student in Alcoholic Beverages, is supported by the Incorporation, this award is presented to an HND Hospitality Management student in first year, who achieves the highest result following assessment submissions for the Unit. It is judged by the subject lecturers. In 2021, the Incorporation sponsored 2 portable bars, to be used within the college for bar tender and cocktail training. This is a valuable resource since the bar in Scholar’s restaurant is often timetabled for operational service.
• The Maltmen also endorse the efforts of the 49 Wine and Spirit Educational Trust's endeavours to promote education within the Licensed Trade. The Trust’s fund is used to educate people within the Scottish Licensed Trade.
