Oman is taking another big step toward its vision of becoming a leading logistics hub in the region. The Oman Logistics Academy (OLA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Blue Ocean Corporation, a global name in supply chain and logistics training.
This collaboration is set to bring internationally recognized programs to Oman, helping build the skilled workforce the country needs to achieve its Vision 2040 goals.
What the Partnership Means
The agreement, signed in Muscat by OLA Chairman Shaikh Abdulaziz Al Harthy and Blue Ocean Group CEO Dr. Sathya Menon, outlines a joint plan to offer accredited training in key areas such as:
- Supply chain and logistics management
- Procurement and contract management
- Employment-focused training for job seekers
The goal isn’t just to provide certificates — it’s to prepare professionals and graduates with practical, globally relevant skills that can be applied in both public and private sectors.
Why It Matters for Oman
Oman’s logistics sector is growing fast, backed by investments in ports, free zones, industrial cities, and infrastructure. But growth also creates a demand for skilled professionals who can keep pace with international standards.
This MoU is timely because it:
- Supports Vision 2040 by aligning workforce skills with the country’s diversification goals.
- Bridges skill gaps in logistics, procurement, and supply chain operations.
- Strengthens competitiveness by preparing Oman’s workforce to meet regional and global trade demands.
Looking Ahead
For Omanis entering the job market, this partnership opens doors to career paths that are not only in demand but also vital to the country’s future. For companies, it means access to talent trained to international benchmarks.
Ultimately, this collaboration between Oman Logistics Academy and Blue Ocean Corporation is about more than education — it’s about building the human capital that will drive Oman’s logistics sector forward for years to come.
