Felivaru has launched a program to familiarize students with the fisheries industry.

A total of 30 students participated in the program, launched under the name "Uddhana" and targeted at students from schools in Lh. Atoll, including 13 students from Lh. Hinnavaru Atoll Education Centre and 17 students from Lh. Naifaru Madharusathul Ifthithaah.

MIFCO stated that before the start of the program, all students were given the opportunity to choose a field they wished to pursue. MIFCO added that relevant technical staff shared comprehensive information about the work in the students' chosen fields, and that the program will provide students with the opportunity to gain practical experience.

"Under this special program, students will be familiarized with many technical fields such as marine mechanic, auto mechanic, refrigeration mechanic, cashier, production, quality assurance, laboratory technician, administration, housing and laundry, and agriculture and farming," MIFCO said.

MIFCO stated that the program is aimed at students studying in Lh. 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.
