Dar Al Atta funds IT training of 18 girls.

Muscat: Dar Al Atta will support Amideast financially to train 18 young Omani high school graduates from Al Seefah in information technology (IT).

The graduates will be trained on how to use Microsoft Office applications and Internet, so they would be able to transfer these skills into their working lives.

Maryam Al Zedjali, head of Dar Al Atta, and Mohammed Al Touqi, a representative from Amideast, signed the agreement recently.

Maryam Al Zedjali said: "The launch of our latest programme in association with Amideast will provide the girls with the essential training they will need when they are working. The ability to be able to write documents using MS Office Word and create presentations and spreadsheets is essential as well as the ability to be able to search the Internet when researching in preparation for particular projects.

"We are confident that the training will give the students the confidence and tools they need to start their working life in the best possible position. Dar Al Atta would like to thank Amideast for their help and guidance in creating a training programme."

This latest initiative from Dar Al Atta is part of a number of charity programmes that have been developed to help Omani women develop their skills so that they are able to engage with other professionals across a number of industries.

Dar Al Atta works hard all year round to help those without regular access to housing, clothing, schooling and food by providing them with living essentials through donations from companies in the public and private sector and from the Omani public.
