Ooredoo Celebrates 150 New Graduates from Springboard Programme

Mobilk - Under the patronage of HE Mohammed bin Salim Al Toobi, Minister of Environment and Climate Affairs, Ooredoo celebrated the graduation of 150 female public sector employees from the world renowned Springboard programme. Attended by members of the Ooredoo Management team and dignitaries from the Ministry of the Civil Service, the celebratory morning also saw the presentation of prizes for the three best team projects completed during the empowering and confidence-building course. 

Designed for women by women, this worldwide programme, run by Ooredoo in collaboration with the British Council, empowers Oman’s female workforce. During the intensive course, women from multiple government agencies and sectors across the Sultanate were taught essential management skills, soft skills, communication, self-empowerment, and public speaking, to name but a few.  

“Ooredoo believes that the Sultanate’s ambitious female population is one of its strongest assets. They have important roles to play in business, industry, government, and academia; their achievements helping power Oman’s continued success and prosperity.  We welcome progressive programmes like Springboard that help them fulfil their ambitions and make their aspirations a reality as we work together for a better tomorrow.” said Kumail Al Moosawi, Ooredoo Chief People and Corporate Affairs Officer.

It is based on input sessions and community-based project work, which is designed to leave a real impact. 

Positive female role models regularly share their success stories with the participants who also benefit from a range of valuable networking opportunities with women from a variety of sectors. Activities are supported by a detailed resource-filled workbook with features that include accomplishments by women in Oman.

With a firm and enduring belief in the potential of Oman’s talent pool, Ooredoo offers development programmes, scholarships, sponsorship and internships.
