130 graduate as part of 2026 OQ batch

MUSCAT: OQ Group welcomed 130 graduates into its 2026 Graduate Development Programme intake during the official onboarding ceremony held on Wednesday.
The event was held under the auspices of Said bin Abdullah al Balushi, Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Labour for Human Resources Development at the Oman Institute for Energy. “The Ministry of Labour places strong emphasis on qualification and training to enable Omani youth to meet the needs of the labour market and its rapidly evolving skills requirements, through its various plans and programmes, and in cooperation with government entities and companies,” he said.
The intake represents a tangible outcome of the strategic agreement signed between OQ and the Ministry of Labour in October 2025, reflecting a strong public-private partnership approach to sustainable employment and national capacity building.
The partnership aims to provide 600 job opportunities for graduates and job-seekers in fields aligned with OQ’s business needs and future growth plans. It translates national workforce priorities into structured, employment-linked talent pathways, reinforcing a shared commitment to building a sustainable workforce pipeline that links education, employability and long-term career progression.
