MUSCAT: BP Oman’s Social Investment Programme (SIP) has reaffirmed its commitment to Youth Vision’s Baisa Programme after receiving positive feedback and requests for the ongoing engagement. The relaunched initiative goes beyond its original scope of college students and now welcomes job-seekers and those new to employment. The initiative delivers the tools and resources needed to enhance the capability of young Omanis to make sound monetary decisions, enabling them to become greater economic citizens.
“We realise the importance of the youth’s understanding of the fundamentals of finance in order to make sound monetary decisions. Thus, we are furthering our mission to instil greater financial awareness and inspire productive future decisions,” said Shamsa al Rawahi, Social Investment Programme Office at BP Oman. “Led by our ‘Implementing Partner’ Injaz Oman, the Baisa Programme has evolved and will cover high-level topics and opportunities, in addition to the basics of savings and financial resources,” said Al Rawahi.
“In partnership with Youth Vision, we held an engagement session to seek feedback from students, leaders in the finance field, including the BP Oman finance team, and some SMEs experts to develop this programme further.” Ibrahim al Hinai, Public Relations Specialist at Youth Vision, a local institute for capability development, said: “The sustainability of what we are delivering with BP Oman is just as important as the skills themselves; it is what drives growth in individuals and the people surrounding them.” The renewal of BP Oman’s partnership with Youth Vision has empowered 750 Omanis to date in Muscat, Al Buraimi, Nizwa, Ibri, Sur, Sohar, Salalah and Al Rustaq.
