Muscat, Dec 11
The Ministry of Labour (MoL) on Wednesday launched the National Framework for Occupational Competence and the Human Resources Management Matrix. The step forms part of the ministry’s efforts to implement Oman Vision 2040 in cooperation with other government departments.
The launch ceremony was held under the auspices of Dr Mahad bin Said Baowain, Minister of Labour.
The National Framework for Occupational Competence and the Human Resources Management Matrix constitute pillars of a new future that envisages higher productivity and enhanced capabilities for employees of the State’s Administrative Apparatus.
