Muscat: As part of its commitment to engage in community-focused projects, OCTAL has lent its support to a Youth Leadership Programme run by international training consultant company, Creative People Solutions (CPS).

Held at the Salalah Vocational College, the initiative offered 20 young graduates the chance to take part in a 5-day skill-building course, helping them to improve their leadership capabilities and prepare for the world of work.
