Choices Match Labor Needs
Students’ choices do not fully align with labor market needs. Health topped their first-choice preferences for 2026/2027, with 8,930 students, while employers preferred hiring graduates in administration and commerce, followed by engineering and information technology. In a 2025 survey, 38% of participating companies reported difficulties recruiting Omani graduates, most notably because of their lack of experience. Meanwhile, 23% of private-sector institutions had collaborated with higher education institutions. The data indicate that aligning fields of study with employment opportunities requires linking education to market needs and developing new programs in areas such as artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.
