Ooredoo Oman Internship Programme Prepares New Graduates for the Workplace

As part of its commitment to nurture and empower Oman’s youth, Ooredoo is starting a three month internship programme designed to provide on the job training for talented Omani students from colleges and universities across the Sultanate. Held on Ooredoo’s dynamic campus, the programme is led by the company’s People Development Team and Department Directors who will educate students on the professional working skills needed to excel in the job market. The initiative’s objective comes in line with the Ministry of Manpower’s target to create more than 25,000 jobs.  

Kumail Al-Moosawi, Chief People and Corporate Affairs Officer at Ooredoo said: “Expanding on our belief in Oman’s talented young individuals, we are constantly exploring opportunities and designing training programmes to empower the future of our country; the youth. We believe in the importance of such initiatives as they will prepare the graduates by equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in an increasingly competitive market. Ooredoo will pass on the experience of an elite team of trainers, directors, and employees by guiding, educating, and supervising the interns. The training at our campus will allow the students to witness the day-to-day work environment and highlights and how theories are applied in real-life. This will help them to take their place as future business leaders and contributing to the prosperity and progress of the Sultanate”.

He added: “We are always proud to support the young national talents and provide coaching and guidance to them, which is why we have conducted more than 400 interviews and I am delighted to say that our current Omanisation ratio is over 91%.
