The Public Authority for Special Economic Zones and Free Zones (OPAZ) organized the training program titled "Certified Innovation Professional". In addition to professional skills in innovation and development, the program aims to provide participants with a basic understanding of science.
The design and structure of this vocational training program reflects 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, program participants received training on a range of foundational skills related to business innovation. These included managing innovation projects and their various forms, maximizing 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 program was attended by several staff members from OPAZ and the Special Economic Zone at Duqm. OPAZ has designated training programs for staff members in the training plan for 2024 with the aim of enhancing and qualifying these skills and competencies.
