For
nearly two decades, Four Seasons Resorts Maldives has been running one of the
Indian Oceans most successful apprenticeship programs teaching and training
the future stars of the hospitality world.
At 4 pm on 5 May 2019, at Dharubaruuge Exhibition
Hall, 51 graduates (27 from Landaa Giraavaru and 24 from Kuda Huraa) will be
raising their diplomas, ready to launch into a hospitality career. This takes
the total number of graduates to 597 since the inception of the program.
Alongside the Class of 2019 graduates, 66 new first-year apprentices and six second-year apprentices will be inaugurated into the
new Class of 2020.
"Since the very beginning, we have taken every step to
ensure our presence in the Maldives is positive, from training and developing
local talent to protecting and preserving the beautiful natural environment," shares
Four Seasons Resorts Maldives Regional Vice President Armando Kraenzlin. "Our
Apprenticeship Program is testament to our commitment to the island communities
of the Maldives, providing the skills, certification and platform for aspiring
hoteliers to secure their futures."
Aimed at 17-20 year olds, the government accredited Technical
and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Apprenticeship Program equips
enthusiastic Maldivian youngsters with the expertise required to excel in the
industry.
Whilst living, studying and working onsite,
apprentices gain hands-on experience in their chosen discipline: Food &
Beverage Preparation or Service, Safe Maritime Transport, Housekeeping &
Guest Services, PADI Dive Master, Water Sports Attendant, Marine Biology,
Engineering (2nd year) and Front Office (2nd year).
