In last two (2) years, ARIA has hosted delegates from Sri Lanka Bureau Foreign Employment Agency (SLBFE), various groups of visitors from China and Japan who are interested in Singapore’straining framework for Foreign Domestic Workers for infant and eldercare.  We have also conducted site tours for Philippines Embassy OWWA Officer, Myanmar Embassy Counselor and Sri Lanka High Commission Counsellor for purposes of showcasing our training centre and programmes offered for the FDWs.  

In 2017, ARIA started to partner with two Nursing Homes in Singapore to provide volunteerism opportunities for the FDWs who have completed their Eldercare Training Programmes.  Such opportunity will enable the trainees to apply their learning beyond classroom hours.

In ARIA, we understand the changing learning needs in every individual. Hence, we design and shape our programme’s curriculum and offerings to the different individual that ARIA aims to draw.  

What we strive to do in ARIA is “Enhance your skills TODAY, for a better TOMORROW”.

ARIA Training Programmes are weaved in with situational scenarios, practicum sessions, safety and precautionary knowledge,skills & application opportunities. The Training Programmes have been categorised with reinforcement modules for the different phase learners.  ARIA works closely with various stakeholders such as FAST, Employment Agencies,Employers for the FDWs skills-training so as to continually stay relevant and appropriate to the changing needs.  ARIA held our first ARIA of Eldercare graduation ceremony in February 2016.  ARIA was featured in 2016 by Myanmar Al in newspaper and with TV media coverage in Myanmar.
