Muscat: The Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation on Sunday launched the Employers Survey 2025.
The project, being implemented by the Ministry's Department of Statistics and Information, seeks to study the compatibility of higher education outcomes with the requirements of the national labour market. In particular, the project will identify the skills and competencies required in various economic sectors.
The project deals with the collection of data on the first six months of the year (until 30 June) from various establishments that have employed higher education graduates between 2018 and 2025.
Dr. Rahma Ibrahim Al Mahrouqi, Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, said in comments about the project that it represents a fundamental pillar in devising educational policies and linking them to labour market needs in line with the goals of Oman Vision 2040. This, she observed, will help enhance the competitiveness of the national economy.
The launch ceremony included a visual presentation that outlined the project’s objectives and stages of implementation.
