The three-year agreement will see successive batches of graduates from supply chain and logistics-related disciplines undergo specialised training programmes developed in cooperation with the university and aligned with industry requirements and professional best practices.
A key feature of the “Esnad” programme is its focus on matching training outcomes with actual labour market demand. Oman Unified Supply Company will provide employment opportunities to a specified percentage of participants who successfully complete the programme.
The programme will also assess industry requirements, identify available employment opportunities and determine the technical and behavioural skills needed by employers.
This will enable job seekers to gain practical experience and competencies required to take up roles efficiently, while increasing the participation of Omani talent in the supply chain and logistics sector.
