The Oman Financial Services Authority has progressed to the final phase of its Jisr initiative, working with insurance sector firms to train and employ 20 Omani nationals after candidates completed written and technical assessments. The final phase includes an interview stage designed to support employment-linked training and the Authority’s in-country value focus across the sectors it regulates. The programme is implemented with the National Programme for Fiscal Sustainability and Financial Sector Development (Estidamah), the Ministry of Labour, and the College of Banking and Financial Studies. Training specialisations span business administration, accounting, finance, marketing, statistics, logistics and transport management, and mechanical engineering, while interviews assess behavioural values alongside technical skills, including communication, teamwork and innovative problem-solving. The Authority also referenced its Tamkeen initiative, which trains Omani nationals for administrative and technical roles at operational, middle and senior levels in the non-banking financial sector.
