Muscat: The Oman Investment Authority (OIA) has recently launched the third edition of the Mu’tamad programme, an initiative designed to enhance the employability of Omani graduates in high-demand sectors including finance, accounting, and cybersecurity.
The programme, which opened for registration on April 28 and runs until May 15, targets Omani jobseekers holding bachelor's degrees in related disciplines with a minimum GPA of 2.7. Participants selected through written assessments and interviews will undergo intensive training and professional development aimed at securing globally recognised certifications such as the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and ACCA qualifications.
In a notable expansion this year, the third edition introduces a dedicated cybersecurity track, reflecting the growing demand for digital security professionals in both public and private sectors.
The inclusion of this track aligns with national priorities in digital transformation and cybersecurity readiness.
The Mu’tamad Programme is part of OIA’s broader commitment to supporting Omanisation and preparing local talent for leadership roles within strategic sectors.
According to OIA, 50 graduates have successfully completed the programme in its first two editions, all obtaining international certifications and advancing into the workforce.
