Outward Bound Oman, in collaboration with Global Shapers Muscat Hub, will deliver six comprehensive leadership courses benefiting 100 participants until the end of 2025. The programme will target job seekers, students, employees, and entrepreneurs from across Oman. The inaugural edition of the programme in 2024 trained 95 individuals through outdoor leadership experiences. The curriculum is specifically designed to align with key UN Goals (SDGs), focusing on quality education, leadership, digital skills, and climate awareness. Participants will be challenged to develop skills in a hands-on, real-world context across Oman's diverse landscapes, including Salalah, Jabal Akhdar, and the Sharqiyah Sands. This immersive approach goes beyond traditional learning, building character, resilience, and a deep appreciation for the country's natural heritage. 'Our core strategy at Ominvest is to create lasting value for all our stakeholders by fostering sustainable growth, and that starts with investing in people," said Badar Awadh al Shanfari, Chief Operating Officer of Ominvest. "The Young Shapers programme is a powerful example of this strategy in action. By equipping young Omanis with critical leadership skills, we're directly contributing to Oman Vision 2040's goals of economic diversification and job creation. These are the future innovators and entrepreneurs who will drive progress and ensure the long-term prosperity of our nation.' Waleed Nasser al Yarubi, Chief People, Corporate Communication and Sustainability Officer, emphasised the program's connection to Ominvest's broader sustainability commitments. "This partnership with Outward Bound Oman is a cornerstone of our sustainability strategy, which is guided by our commitment to making a positive impact on society and the environment. By focusing the curriculum on UN SDGs like quality education and climate awareness, we are not only developing individual leaders but also empowering them to be agents of change. This initiative is a powerful demonstration of how we integrate social and environmental progress into our business objectives, creating shared value for our company, our communities, and the future of Oman." Suleiman bin Masoud al Harthy, Chairman of Outward Bound Oman, said: "We are delighted to renew our partnership with Ominvest and continue creating opportunities for young Omanis to develop essential life skills while connecting with their natural heritage.
