New initiative to employ 100 jobseekers in Oman airports

Muscat – Oman Airports, in cooperation with the Ministry of Labour, on Tuesday launched a programme to train 100 jobseekers in the aviation and ground services sector.

The ‘Masir’ programme aims to empower Omani youth to achieve their goals and engage them in the labour market.

The launch ceremony was held under the patronage of H E Sayyid Salem bin Muslim al Busaidi, Undersecretary for Human Resources Development in the Ministry of Labour.

“Through this partnership, the ministry seeks to strengthen the efforts of the private sector institutions and train jobseekers to enter the labour market,” H E Busaidi said.

“More than 11,000 jobs were created within the Employment Training Programme through the Human Resources Development Sector in 2022,” he added.

Saud bin Abdulaziz al Azizi, executive director of TRANSOM Handling, said, “The programme seeks to train about 100 jobseekers for the aviation sector in the first phase. This programme comes in line with the company’s strategy to qualify and train the national cadre in line with Oman Vision 2040.”

He added that the company aspires to receive larger number of candidates in the second phase.

According to Azizi, the programme will continue for two years and will employ jobseekers in passenger services and some technical jobs
