With the completion of the 20,600 square metres gross leasable area (GLA) Qurum City Centre, will provide even more job opportunities for the young Omani population. Salim bin Nasser, Director-General at the Ministry of Manpower, said: "City Centre is one of the leading companies employing the national workforce and the stores operating at the centre are very committed to Omanisation. This will raise the percentage of Omanisation."
"We would like to mention that City Centre allowed the ministry to open a new recruitment office to which the centre can provide all services related to recruitment of the national workforce looking for a job, it provides also other services that citizens want to know through the operating system and to serve all the establishments operating inside the centre. "The number of Omani nationals working in Carrefour is 432, working at all levels. At the high level jobs, the Omanisation percentage reached 55 per cent and we hope that the new Qurum City Centre participates in pushing Omanisation up and achieving its policies," he added.
