Building Oman's Skilled Workforce — One Standard at a Time.

NOS Studio is the platform for industry associations to establish Sector Skills Units and develop National Occupational Standards under the GDT-MOL framework — the regulatory backbone of Oman Vision 2040.

OMAN VISION 2040

Why Occupational Standards Matter Now

Oman Vision 2040 sets clear targets for the labour market — 83% skilled workforce in the private sector and 40% Omani share of new private sector jobs by 2040.

From Months of Coordination to a Structured Pipeline

NOS Studio replaces fragmented documents, email threads, and physical meetings with one collaborative pipeline that mirrors the GDT-MOL workflow. Drafting, validation, and submission all happen on the same timeline of record.

Traditional Process

01

Manual drafting through fragmented document sharing and physical meetings.

02

Informal validation without centralised industry stakeholder engagement tracking.

03

Repeated formatting and manual data entry across multiple government templates.

NOS Studio

01

One pipeline. Drafting, review, consultation and submission share a single record from licence to publication.

02

Aligned with the GDT-MOL workflow — gate conditions, template structure, and the audit trail are built in, not retrofitted.

03

Standards-of-record stay structured: ISCO codes, OQF levels, performance criteria and LMIA evidence live as data, not buried in attachments.

From Association to Published Standard

Three phases — establish the unit, validate the occupations, develop and publish the standards. The steps inside each phase are the same ones you'll see on your dashboard.

Hold the mandate for your sector's standards

An SSU licence gives a recognised Omani industry association the authority to set the National Occupational Standards their sector hires against — endorsed by GDT-MOL and aligned with Oman Vision 2040.
