Atoll schools, with the objective of sparking interest in vocational work, teaching skills, developing a productive workforce in the community, and paving the way for students to find employment. Furthermore, MIFCO noted that Felivaru's goal is to expand this program, continue it uninterrupted, and secure favorable opportunities within the industry for school students.
