Radisson Blu Resort Maldives is pleased to announce Arushidh Aboobakuru as the first intern to complete the resort’s 6-month internship program. 

A highly motivated talent, Arushidh Aboobakuru or Allu as we all call him, began his internship on 11 December 2020 and completed it on 11 June 2021. He received his certification after he delivered a presentation of his internship experience and perspective in the Front Office Department in the presence of the resort management and associates.  

Originating from Noonu Atoll, Allu graduated from Maldives National University in International Hospitality Management. He then worked at the Corporate Service Department in the Ministry of Education. Despite this promising career in the government institution, Allu decided to pursue his passion in the hospitality industry. His hotelier journey began by joining the internship program in the resort. 

As a part of the program, Allu has been posted to all sections of the Front Office, including reception, guest service, bellman, phone operator, and boat crew. With his eagerness to learn and positive attitude, he received continuous support and acknowledgement from his supervisor and colleagues. Upon the completion of this internship, Allu joins the resort as a full time employee as a Guest Service Agent.
