Australian Certification for Minor Employees
Thailand’s Minor Hotel Group – operator of over 100 hotels, resorts and serviced suites in 14 countries across Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa and the Indian Ocean – has launched Explorer, a new vocational hotel training program, which the group has chosen to roll out in the Maldives.
Explorer is accredited with international certification from Australia, a leader in the field of vocational education. Successful completion is awarded with a hospitality Certificate III qualification that provides the foundation for continued learning to progress towards a Certificate IV, and ultimately a Diploma in Hospitality.
Dillip Rajakarier, CEO Minor Hotel Group, said, “A vast amount of research and work has gone into the development of this program and we are confident it will offer our current and future associates an opportunity to develop and enhance their skills in real time, whilst also giving them an accredited certification enabling them to progress with their careers. This is our first regional launch of this program and we are looking forward to rolling Explorer out in other regions where we operate in the coming months.”
Explorer is open to both young internal hotel candidates and external school leaver participants who combine training with real-time remunerated work experience. MHG has also made a significant investment in high quality coaches, who have been developed internally to international accredited standards so that they can share their knowledge and leadership skills with the programme participants.
Each Explorer trainee will be provided with a tablet allowing them access to the online learning platform that complements classroom training, ensuring a fully integrated learning experience. Upon completion they will have learnt new skills and gained experience and confidence in themselves and in an industry that contributes significantly to the well-being of the Maldivian economy.
