Show up. Skill up.Stand out
The National Skills & Career Expo · Free entry — three days where every college, employer and trade in the Maldives is standing in one park.
Doors open in
Four zones, three days.
The park is laid out in four zones. Step through them.
The people who are actually hiring.
Not a jobs board. Recruiters from resorts, ports, banks, construction, health and the public service take meetings on the floor — with people who can say yes on the spot. Bring a CV; leave with an interview slot.
- 01Live interview booths running all three days, walk-in and pre-booked
- 02Free CV clinic and mock-interview desk staffed by HR practitioners
- 03Apprenticeship and on-the-job training placements, signed on site
- 04Employer talks: what a hiring manager actually reads first
Every route, laid out side by side.
Diploma, degree, certificate, apprenticeship, overseas. See them next to each other, with the cost, the length and the job at the end stated plainly — so the choice is yours and it's an informed one.
- 01Admissions officers from national and private institutions, in person
- 02Scholarship and student-loan desk with same-day eligibility checks
- 03Course comparison walls — fees, duration, entry requirement
- 04Sessions in Dhivehi and English, twice daily
Try the job before you choose it.
The loudest, busiest corner of the park — and the point of the whole expo. You don't watch a trade here, you do one. Ten minutes with a welding torch tells you more than ten pages of prospectus.
- 01Hands-on bays: welding, marine engineering, electrical, culinary, hairdressing
- 02Live skills competitions with judging on the floor
- 03Dive, hospitality and aviation simulators open to walk-ups
- 04Robotics, drone and digital-fabrication demos from student teams
Small businesses, out in the open.
Island enterprises, makers and graduates selling what they build. Proof that a skill is a livelihood — plus the desks that get a business registered, funded and trading.
- 01SME and island-enterprise stalls, trading across all three evenings
- 02Business registration and SME finance desks on site
- 03Craft, food and fisheries producers from across the atolls
- 04Evening programme: music, food and family activity until late
