Sun Siyam Resorts Launches New Apprenticeship Program in Collaboration with the Ministry of Higher Education, Maldives
Thirteen apprentices have now joined the inaugural six-month intake, gaining structured, on-the-job experience across key departments of the resort, from diving, finance, engineering , culinary, IT and beyond. The program includes mentorship by senior team members, skill-focused workshops, and real-world exposure aligned with national certification standards and Sun Siyam's own service philosophy.
' This is more than just training—it is a long-term investment in the future of Maldivian tourism,' said Abdulla Thamheed, Vice President of Operations, Sun Siyam Resorts. 'We are proud to collaborate with the Ministry to help build a generation of confident, capable professionals ready to lead our country's signature industry with passion and pride.'
This program reflects a broader ambition: while it launches first at Siyam World, Sun Siyam Resorts plans to expand the Apprenticeship Program across all its properties in the Maldives and Sri Lanka, bringing a consistent and sustainable model for workforce development across the group.
While the Apprenticeship Program is a standalone initiative, it reflects the same values that drive the group's broader commitment to people and purpose. Separate from the Sun Siyam Cares framework, which focuses on sustainability, environmental protection, and ethical tourism, this program reinforces Sun Siyam Resorts' ongoing dedication to investing in the future of the Maldives through education, skills development, and meaningful career pathways for local youth. Together, these efforts represent the group's belief in building a more empowered and inclusive hospitality industry.
As this new chapter of mentorship and learning begins, Sun Siyam Resorts remains committed to creating opportunities, cultivating talent, and sharing knowledge—ensuring that the next generation of hospitality leaders are not only inspired, but empowered.
