‘We don't just need more jobs—we need the right jobs'!
The latest employment figures from Oman tell us something important—if we're willing to look beyond the surface. At first glance, they seem reassuring. In the first half of 2025, a total of 35,807 Omanis were either employed or received training. That's about 38% of the government's annual target of 45,000 opportunities. Because behind the numbers lies a deeper challenge: how fast—and how boldly—are we transforming Oman's labour market in an era shaped by global disruption, cautious private-sector dynamics, and a new generation demanding more than just a job? Over 12,900 Omanis were hired in the first six months of the year. That includes more than 10,600 placements in the private sector—a welcome sign given long-standing concerns about local hiring—and 2,300 jobs in government institutions. It's also heartening that training-to-employment schemes reached over 4,200 individuals, focusing on preparing Omanis to replace expatriates and build practical skills. Even more significant: 17,228 of these were first-time entrants to the job market. That's 17,000 personal milestones. It's about independence, identity, and possibility. In a region where youth unemployment remains a pressing concern, this is no small achievement. With just 38% of the annual target reached by midyear, the pace is cause for concern. The question isn't whether we're doing enough. It's whether we're doing the right things fast enough—and in the right way. Why hasn't the private sector absorbed more talent? Why are training numbers lagging behind projections? Why does this effort still feel fragmented? The root of the challenge is structural. Some private firms are still hesitant to invest in Omani talent. They worry about readiness, retention, and return. But the real issue is the gap between what companies need and what job seekers are trained for. There's also a mismatch in expectations—wages, workplace culture, and career paths remain points of friction. And these are not problems that the Ministry of Labour can fix alone. The concept of 'training linked to employment' is sound—train Omanis for real jobs, then place them. But we need to ask: are we training for the jobs of 2025, or the jobs of 2015? The global economy is evolving rapidly. Clean energy, AI, logistics, fintech, and creative industries are now front and centre. If our training programmes remain rooted in outdated models, we're offering young people a certificate—not a future. Training must be driven by private-sector demand, tied to actual hiring agreements, and constantly updated. Otherwise, we risk creating another cycle of disappointment. Another focus of this year's job strategy has been replacing expatriates with Omanis. Nearly 3,820 roles have been localised so far. The principle is sound. Omanis should have access to meaningful work, especially where the skills already exist locally. But this must be done with care. Forced localisation, where readiness is not matched by training or support, sets everyone up to fail. We need a sector-by-sector roadmap—identify suitable jobs for Omanisation, create dedicated training pipelines, and offer companies incentives to cooperate, not resist. Vision 2040 demands a skilled, competitive Omani workforce that drives a diversified economy. That won't happen through job placement alone. We need a whole-of-government strategy linking education reform, economic policy, and innovation. And it must be localised—Muscat's needs are different from those of Dhofar or Musandam. And beyond placements, we must ask: are people thriving in their jobs? Are they progressing? Are employers satisfied? Success should be measured by impact, not intake. There's still time to accelerate in the second half of 2025—but we must be bold. •Build sector-specific alliances in clean energy, AI, logistics, and tourism—especially in governorates needing a boost. •Let employers shape training, tie it to real job offers, and ensure outcomes are measurable. •Support entrepreneurship as a real alternative—not everyone wants a job; some want to build their own future. •Use data wisely—AI and labour analytics can match skills to needs in real time. Employment isn't a chart—it's a human story. Every Omani hired is someone who feels seen, valued, and responsible. Let's treat this with the gravity it deserves. Let's shift from counting placements to making each job meaningful. There's still a second half of the year to go. Let's make it count.

How Young Omanis Are Reclaiming Summer's True Spirit
As the long, sun-drenched days of summer finally arrive, Omani youth find themselves at a crossroads: a wealth of free time with limited options to stay cool and engaged. While the soaring temperatures can restrict outdoor activities, this season also opens the door to adventures, cultural exploration, and meaningful connections. Amidst the heat, many young Omanis are discovering innovative ways to balance fun and productivity — from cooling water escapades to creative pursuits, all offering a well-deserved break from routine. How Young Omanis Are Reclaiming Summer's True Spirit Making Waves: Water Adventures for All Ages What's a better way to beat the heat than diving into Oman's stunning water destinations? Whether it's leisurely boat trips, beach days, or even surfing the waves in Sur and South Sharqiyah, water activities remain a popular choice. Wadis — dry riverbeds that come alive during the rainy season — transform into spectacular playgrounds for adventure seekers. Wadi Shab and Wadi Al Hqain, with their breathtaking landscapes of mountains, shimmering water pools, and lush palm trees, are perfect spots for hiking, swimming, and unwinding. Huda Alhajri, an avid adventurer, recalls her most memorable experience at Wadi Alnakhr: 'That place didn't just offer beauty, but healing, growth, and a peace that stays long after you leave. Wadi Hawir was truly breathtaking.' These natural wonders don't just offer exhilarating escapes — they also foster reflection and a deep connection to nature. How Young Omanis Are Reclaiming Summer's True Spirit Exploring Inner and Outer Landscapes: Local Tourism For families wishing to escape the humidity of the city, domestic travel provides a refreshing alternative. From the cooler climes of Ashkarah and Sur to the tranquil inner villages, these destinations offer a respite from summer's sweltering heat. The South Sharqiyah Festival in July celebrated Oman's rich heritage, showcasing traditional crafts, lively performances, and local cuisine — all while supporting small businesses. The crown jewel remains Salalah in Dhofar, often called the 'Swiss of the Gulf'. With its foggy mornings and temperatures rarely exceeding 20°C, Salalah beckons families and travellers alike. The region's cooler climate and lush landscapes provide the perfect backdrop for outdoor adventures, cultural discovery, and quality time with loved ones. 'Internal tourism is not only cost-effective but also a chance to rediscover the beauty and cultural legacy of Oman,' explains a local historian, emphasising the importance of exploring one's own backyard. How Young Omanis Are Reclaiming Summer's True Spirit Celebrating Family and Friendship With schools on holiday, summer offers the perfect opportunity for family reunions and friend gatherings. Whether staying at a chalet, visiting home villages, or simply relaxing at family homes, these moments strengthen bonds and revive cherished traditions. Time spent with elders is a treasured experience — a chance to hear stories of the past, learn family histories, and draw inspiration. Hoor Al-Barwani reflects: 'My grandmother's presence is the purest form of love. Her prayers and advice guide me, and being with her is like capturing a moment of eternity.' How Young Omanis Are Reclaiming Summer's True Spirit Unleashing Creativity in Muscat's Art Hubs For those seeking a different kind of summer escape, Muscat's burgeoning art scene offers a vibrant alternative. Studios like Mofun and Rfoof provide workshops in pottery, painting, and even crocheting at accessible prices. Young creatives say these activities serve as a much-needed retreat from the overstimulating digital world — a chance to let inner visions flourish. Alya Al-Masruri, an aspiring artist, shares: 'Painting gives me a break from screens and the hectic pace of life. It's a way to create and relax at the same time.' How Young Omanis Are Reclaiming Summer's True Spirit Journeying Beyond Borders: Travel and Cultural Exchange Finally, summer is a prime time for travelling beyond Oman's borders. Exploring new countries, tasting diverse cuisines, and meeting different people broaden horizons and deepen understanding. Travelling also pushes young adventurers out of their comfort zones, helping them develop resilience and cultural sensitivity. Dr Hamed, a keen travel enthusiast, notes: 'Travel is about discovering new cultures and meeting new people. It's an experience that shapes you in ways nothing else can.' How Young Omanis Are Reclaiming Summer's True Spirit In essence, Oman's youth are turning summer into a season rich with possibility — balancing moments of adventure, learning, family, and creativity. With every splash in the water, every brushstroke or journey taken, they are weaving memories that will last long after the days grow shorter once more.
