Over 120 engineers, specialists graduate from 'Imkan 3' programme

The Projects, Tenders, and Local Content Authority in Oman held a ceremony on Sunday to mark the successful completion of the 'Imkan 3' training programme. The event celebrated the graduation of 125 engineers and specialists who have completed the intensive curriculum designed to bolster technical expertise within the public sector.

According to the Times of Oman, the graduates represent 38 different government entities. The 'Imkan' initiative is part of a broader national strategy to enhance the capabilities of the local workforce, focusing on project management, procurement, and the development of local content in alignment with Oman Vision 2040. The programme aims to equip participants with the practical skills necessary to oversee complex infrastructure and development projects across the Sultanate.

Officials at the ceremony emphasized the importance of investing in human capital to drive economic diversification and improve the efficiency of government operations. By training specialists directly involved in tenders and project oversight, the Authority seeks to ensure that national projects are managed with higher standards of transparency and technical proficiency. The graduates are expected to return to their respective departments to implement the methodologies learned during the programme.
