Muscat: The Public Authority for Manpower Register (PAMR), in cooperation with the Ministry of Technology and Communications, launched Namr Portal; an integrated electronic platform to improve interconnection procedures with the relevant parties, reduce the amount of forms required from users to complete the service and increase transparency in the services provided by the Authority.

The portal was launched under the patronage of Sultan bin Salim Al Habsi, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Central Bank of Oman (CBO), Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Employment Center (NEC).

The new portal shows the job vacancies available in the labour market for citizens and enables them to follow up on these opportunities in key sectors (military, civil and private sectors) through a single window and platform.

The portal gives an accurate and updated data of the manpower in the operating sectors as it is run by a central operating system, which easily nominates the jobseekers for the available job vacancies without intervention in the entities’ procedures.

The Portal also enables government and private entities to offer their job opportunities through an automated system and to identify the qualified and appropriate applicants for those jobs in a transparent way. It also allows the analysis of the work history, expertise and professional competencies of the manpower, as well as providing the necessary statistical indicators and data of the labour market.

The portal provides important services to citizens and related government entities, including updating jobseekers' data, applying for training opportunities, submitting complaints and inquiries, requesting an appointment with the Authority, and the possibility of communication between entities and jobseekers.

The system electronic integration with the relevant parties provides benefits in terms of preventing duplication of data, reducing the effort and time to enter data in each government entity, focus on the skills of data analysis and ensure obtaining correct high-accuracy data from the government entity responsible for it.

The portal is currently integrated with a number of government entities including the Royal Oman Police, Ministry of Civil Service, Ministry of Manpower, Ministry of Higher Education, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Social Development, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Public Authority for Social Insurance and Al Raffd Fund.

The second phase of the project will include the integration of Ministry of Finance, Public Authority for Craft Industries, Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Public Authority for Small and Medium Enterprises Development, Muscat Municipality, Dhofar Municipality, Sohar Municipality and others.

The portal provides its services in both Arabic and English to facilitate the registration and operation of the workforce. To benefit from the services provided through the portal, the applicant must use ID card with (PKI) enabled or mobile phone SIM card with (PKI) enabled.
