(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) has unveiled a significant new employment commitment by sponsoring the vocational training of 1,500 Omani job seekers to work in the security industry.
The on-the-job training will be for two months with suitable candidates learning vital security and safety skills, stated a press release.
On successful completion of the programme, they will take up employment with Security and Safety Services (SSS) as guards at government and company offices, and shopping malls.
The training will be aimed at Omani men and women aged 18 to 30 with a high school diploma or who have been educated up to grade 11 at least.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) underpinning the three-year initiative was signed by PDO and SSS on Sunday at the Knowledge World complex in Mina al Fahal.
Abdul Amir Abdul Hussein al Ajmi, PDO's external affairs and value creation director said, 'This is the largest one-off vocational training programme we have signed to date. We are determined to do all we can to support the government in providing job and training opportunities for young Omanis.'
He added, 'We are targeting openings across all aspects of the sultanate's economy by joining forces with trusted partners, such as SSS, to create employment.
The security training is part of PDO's National Objectives programme, which is targeting the creation of 17,000 job, training, redeployment, transfer and scholarship opportunities this year alone.
Brig Gen Rashid al Sidairi, SSS chief executive officer said, 'His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said has always stressed that the primary objective of development has always been the Omani citizen. Believing in the importance of this programme and the support it provides to jobseekers, the Security and Safety Services joins hands with PDO to provide career development training for young Omanis.'
