Five Maldivians have returned after completing their six-month, Shangri-La sponsored internships at Tanjung Aru resort in Malaysia, according to Haveeru.
Shangri-La is expected to open their first resort, Villingili Resort and Spa, in Addu atoll, Maldives, in April this year.
As part of their training programme, the resort held a three-month hospitality certificate course in Addu in January 2008
Out of 28 students who completed the course, Shangri-La sent the top five students to complete an internship at their resort in Malaysia.
Previously in 2006, Shangri-La had sent four Maldivian employees for an 18-month internship to one of their hotels in Dubai.
The company plans on holding another hospitality certificate course on 11 January in Addu as part of their bid to develop skilled staff for their resort.
