Manpower Minister Dr Juma bin Ali bin Juma said the sector played a key role in terms of the huge number of jobs offered by local and foreign construction companies operating in the country.
“It provides plenty of job opportunities and contributed to the development of other sectors,” he told reporters on the sidelines of an exhibition on ‘Job Opportunities in the Construction and Contracting Sector’ at the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OCCI) which he earlier opened.
Juma said the ministry in co-ordination with the private sector and OCCI was striving to remove all obstacles that hindered “progress of human resources development in the Sultanate and all categories in society.”
Juma called upon Omani youngsters to visit such exhibitions or the ministry’s offices to learn about jobs available in various economic sectors in the country.
