Muscat: The Ministry of Manpower (MoM) is making great efforts to create job opportunities for the national manpower at the various sectors and activities.
It also does its best to ensure that Omanis are provided with incentives that help them accept the offered job opportunities, settle at work and turn out to work for the private sector.
The MoM also maintains regular communication and coordination with the private sector organisations to create job opportunities for the Omani youths at the different fields and activities by announcing the vacancies at the private sector organisations at the different media means.
During December 2018, a number of private sector companies offered more than 400 job opportunities for Omanis.
The MoM has already started interviews with 4,298 jobseekers who were called for interviews, which will continue up next Thursday.
The move comes within the efforts made by the Government to create job opportunities for Omanis at the different fields and specialisations.
