MACL set to launch internship program for people with disabilities
The MoU aims to launch an internship program specifically designed to offer people with disabilities a chance to gain valuable work experience in one of the country's fastest-growing industries.
In a significant step towards fostering inclusivity, the Maldives Airports Company Limited (MACL) has announced a new initiative to provide internship opportunities for people with disabilities in the sectors. This initiative is part of a broader effort to create a more accommodating and supportive work culture in the Maldives.
The program was formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with the Ministry of Social and Family Development. The MoU aims to launch an internship program specifically designed to offer people with disabilities a chance to gain valuable work experience in one of the country's fastest-growing industries.
This program is part of a larger shift in the Maldives towards a more inclusive environment for people with disabilities. Over the years, the country has made significant strides in improving accessibility in public transportation and government buildings. Under the one-year agreement, five individuals with disabilities will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience at MACL. This initiative is not only designed to create employment opportunities but also to promote a culture of equality and inclusion within society.
As the public becomes more aware of the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, there has been a concerted effort to accommodate their needs and ensure they have equal opportunities. The new internship program by MACL is a testament to the progress being made and the ongoing commitment to fostering an inclusive society in the Maldives.
