Skills upgrade

The Sultanate’s focus on manufacturing as part of the Tanfeedh initiative has necessitated upgrading the skills of the Omani workforce. Otherwise the additional employment being generated by the diversification drive will not benefit the nation as much as expected. This is one of the major issues for the government as it seeks to upgrade the skills of the national workforce for the manufacturing sector. With this objective in mind the Public Establishment for Industrial Estates (PEIE) has launched extensive training programmes. The programme is indication that the Omanisation drive is ripe to enter the next level in quality upgradation.
