Siemens Omani Graduate Program offers new career opportunities for fresh graduates
Reflecting its ongoing contributions to prepare the next generation, Siemens launched earlier this month the Omani Graduate Program in the Sultanate to help fresh university graduates develop professional skills through a program of intensive training and real-world work experience. During two six-month assignments, they will work in different areas of the company’s regional headquarters for the Middle East.
At the start of the program, each participant will be assigned a career mentor. Together, they will define and personalize the participant’s program and establish the general direction of his or her professional path. These choices will be based on the participant’s qualifications and interests, as well as on what is important from a business perspective for Siemens in Oman.
While training and development are major components of the training program, the biggest learning comes from doing. Participants, who are full-time Siemens employees, will be integrated into the day-to-day business of their project teams and will assume full responsibility for the tasks assigned to them.
“Oman has a large pool of extremely talented young graduates, and we are excited to launch the Omani Graduate Program in the Sultanate as our newest opportunity to foster know-how transfer and build the next generation of young Omanis,” said Claudia Vergueiro Massei, CEO of Siemens in Oman. “We welcome Omani graduates looking to start and advance their careers on a strong footing. The initiative provides an intensive development and training program that not only helps build leadership skills, but also teaches other valuable business skills, such as effective communication, professional self-awareness, and company knowledge.”
“Perhaps, most importantly, the participants will have the opportunity to help Siemens tackle some of the most significant challenges we currently face across the region,” Massei added.
Open to Omani nationals, the program currently is accepting applications until July 31, 2019. More information is available at: https://t.co/IJtVID6d0P. Three participants will be selected during the program’s first year in the Sultanate.
With approximately 11,400 apprentices and work-study program participants worldwide, Siemens is one of the world's largest and most innovative private training companies. Since the training year 2017, Siemens has integrated relevant digitalization topics, such as data analytics, software development and data security, in the company's curricula for all its apprenticeship and work-study programs.
This program marks the beginning of several opportunities offered by Siemens to support in building a competent and highly efficient local work force as part of Siemens commitment to the sustainable development of Oman.
