Country Oman
Abstract This paper examines how associations of Omani women empower females to find employment by training them in soft skills as part of Oman Vision 2040. This is mixed-methods research considering the opinions of 101 female job seekers who were surveyed, and the results of the open-ended interview were analyzed thematically. Significant values were also found on the most important areas of soft skills such as interview expression (Mean Difference = -1.50, p < 0.001), problem-solving (Mean Difference = -1.39, p < 0.001), time management (Mean Difference = +0.40, p = 0.005), and overall self-confidence (Mean Difference = -1.88, p < 0.001). Correlations were quite strong between expression confidence and entrepreneurial vision (r = 0.78, p < 0.01) as well as between leadership skills and job market awareness (r = 0.68, p < 0.01) and represent ripple effects of empowerment in various areas. Qualitative responses were analyzed thematically to show the necessity of practical training, employment corresponding services, and emotional empowerment. These results highlight the ability of women's groups to transform social lives and economic development. It provides practical solutions through adjusting training to various levels of education, enhancing collaboration among institutions, and incorporating emotional intelligence and leadership identity into the program process. Such observations help Oman to promote gender equity and encompass the personnel in workforce participation.
