DUBAI: Oman will start prioritizing locals for sub-contracted roles in renewed plans to localize the workforce, national daily Oman Times has reported.

Undersecretary Amer Al-Hosni from the country’s labor ministry held a meeting with dozens of human resources professionals from several fields including banking and finance.

It was announced in the meeting that sub-contracting of expatriate employees should be discontinued to provide more opportunities to Omanis.

Plans to only hire Omanis in training positions were also discussed during the meeting.
