Applications open for Apprenticeship Program 2020 at Equator Village


Maldives
PUBLISHED January 11, 2020

Equator Village has announced the opening of its apprenticeship program applications for the year 2020.

Prior to this, Equator Village, formally awarded Best Airport Hotel at Maldives Travel Awards for two years, has successfully conducted apprenticeship programs as well and trained several youngsters in the tourism industry.

Under these programs, the resort has trained many students from secondary and higher secondary schools of Addu City.

Students of Irushadhiyya School have been participating in Equator Villages apprenticeship program since 2016. The principal of Irushadhiyya School, Mr. Mohamed Nasir has said that such opportunities provided by Equator Village are very beneficial as it provides with many essential skills for students through the teachings of apprenticeship programs.

Mr. Nasir said, "It has been about five years since our school has been sending students to participate in Equator Villages apprenticeship program. Every year one batch of students complete their training there. Even the parents are not hesitant at all to send their children to Equator Village. The parents also know that the environment there is good for the students and that the trainers there are capable and experienced professionals. It is obvious that students who come back after completing the nearly three months long apprenticeship program have learned a lot of things and opened their eyes to the industry well."

Equator Village had previously trained Villa College students under the apprentice program and students who were interested in pursuing a career in the tourism industry after the program were offered placements in the resort. 

In addition, when South Asian Travel Awards (SATA) was hosted in Equator Village, apprentices of the program were given the chance to work with international delegation of SATA. An hours scenic plane ride away, Equator Village, located on the upper tip of Addu Atolls heart shaped landmass is widely known as a resort that aids in several initiatives organised for the betterment and development of the community.
