(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Oman Air has announced that it is to be the Lead Sponsor of the Omanisation Careers Fair (OCF) 2015.
The event is being held from April 20-22 at the Oman International Exhibition Centre as part of the Global Higher Education Exhibition.
The event which is being organised by OITE Trade Fairs under the patronage of the Ministry of Manpower aims to help meet the mounting demand for Omani workers within the sultanate.
Rashid Mohammed al Ghailani chief officer – human resource Oman Air commented 'As the national carrier of the Sultanate of Oman and as a major employer in the country Oman Air is pleased to become the Lead Sponsor of OCF 2015. This important event will showcase the full range of future employment opportunities for students graduates and those seeking a fresh challenge. As Oman Air continues its current ambitious expansion programme a significant number of those opportunities will be offered by the national carrier of Oman.'
He added 'Oman Air has been a vocal supporter of the sultanate's policy of Omanisation since the time it was launched.

These showed that there is a bright future for ambitious motivated and qualified Omanis within the country's national carrier. In addition the carrier operates a programme of training for potential pilots who are Omani citizens.<
