Muscat: The Youth Centre on Thursday signed two cooperation agreements with Oman Oil Marketing Company and Nikon, as part of its efforts to empower Omani youth and support their skills in various fields.
Basil Ahmed Al Rowas, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Youth for Sports and Youth, signed the agreements on behalf of the Youth Centre.
The first agreement, between the Youth Centre and Oman Oil Marketing Company, aims to implement the third edition of the "Tamakkun" freelance programme. This programme targets empowering 200 young men and women engaged in independent freelancing from September to December 2025, by providing them with the skills and tools necessary to transform their abilities into sustainable income sources.
The second agreement, forged in partnership with Nikon, seeks to support young people in professional photography through advanced training programmes. It also includes equipping photography and sound studios at the Youth Centre, thereby contributing to the development of a creative and skilled environment for Omani youth.
