Which national training programs should I know about in Oman?
Oman's Ministry of Labour has planned 60,000 job opportunities for 2026, and 17,000 of them are through national training and qualification programmes, according to Gulf Business. If you are Omani, ask the Ministry of Labour which programme you could join, and check your own eligibility.
The same report says labour plans include replacement initiatives in oil, gas, logistics and tourism, and that in 2025 more than 4,000 Omanis filled technical and leadership roles through these programmes. If you are Omani and work in one of those sectors, ask your employer whether the programmes apply to you.
