The Ministry of Labour (MoL) on Thursday announced a scheme for the private sector companies to avail government support for implementation of decisions for Omanisation through training.

In a statement, MoL said the private sector firms – willing to train Omani jobseekers through training streams provided by the ministry during the period from February 11 to May 5 – must submit applications as soon as possible, affirming that as the support to be extended is limited, priority would be given to those applications submitted first.

This is in addition to training on account auditing for car agencies, all marketing professions involving in selling new and used vehicles, professions related tobusiness of optics and the sale of glasses and specialists in occupational and health safety for organisations that employ 50 or more workers.
