Muscat: The Public Authority for Special Economic Zones and Free Zones (Opaz) organised the training programme titled "Certified Innovation Professional".
In addition to professional skills in innovation and development, the programme aims to provide participants with a basic understanding of science.
The design and structure of this vocational training program reflect Opaz's conviction that it is critical to certify its professional cadres and offer a welcoming workplace that fosters kindness and creativity. Given the global changes in the business world, programme participants received training on a range of foundational skills related to business innovation.
These included managing innovation projects and their various forms, maximising the use of creativity, coming up with ideas and brainstorming, and attaining best practices in professional training. Employees also received training on how to create open horizons that can lead to success in the workplace and how to design and use innovation spaces.
The five-day training programme was attended by several staff members from Opaz and the Special Economic Zone at Duqm. Opaz has designated training programmes for staff members in the training plan for 2024 to enhance and qualify these skills and competencies.
