“Interns are assigned designated coaches who are responsible for providing orientation and supervision and are accountable for mentoring and guiding the interns to maximise their potential.” Al Siyabi added. “We would like to thank the employees who contribute their expertise to the next generation. We acknowledge their efforts and appreciate their participation in achieving the company’s obligation to train future leaders.”

Current graduate trainees and undergraduate students who need to fulfil their curriculum requirements for graduation purposes can submit a ‘Training and Internship Request’ available on the official Oman Air website under the ‘Careers’ section.
