Her journey started with education at Oman Industrial School
Documentation of the history of Oman School for Industrial Trades in Darset, Muscat, which began in 1967 as an initiative to meet the need for training Omani nationals for industrial professions—especially given the limited opportunities for formal education and the growing demand of the labor market for technical skills driven by oil developments. The school evolved from a small building housing workshops and classrooms, specializing in training young people in skills such as welding, mechanics, and electricity. It offered a three-year educational program that combined academic foundational courses with technical training, in collaboration with Petroleum Development Oman. In 1970, the government took over management of the school, expanded its specialties, adopted British curricula and certificates from City & Guilds, increased student enrollment, and expanded the training programs. This eventually led to the establishment of a broader system of vocational education that developed into colleges and technical institutes, contributing to the preparation of a skilled national workforce and supporting Oman's economy.
