16 July 2025, Muscat:
The National Bank of Oman (NBO) organised a series of workshops in collaboration with the North Al Batinah Governor's Office at the University of Technology and Applied Sciences in Sohar, the University of Technology and Applied Sciences in Shinas and the Vocational College of Al Khabourah.
Titled 'My Financial Future', the workshops catered to young individuals aged 9-17 and complemented the Governor's Office's 'Summer of Leadership and Creativity' Programme by empowering participants with practical financial planning skills needed for the future.
Several topics were covered throughout the workshops including smart saving, budgeting, investment fundamentals, alongside hands-on activities that encouraged students to apply what they learned in realistic scenarios.
This marks NBO's second participation in the programme, underscoring its commitment to support the development of younger generations through initiatives that embed financial literacy in real, relatable contexts.
Through its 'My Financial Future' workshops, NBO continues to align its community outreach with national priorities by promoting responsible financial behaviours and equipping younger generations with practical skills and knowledge to navigate real-world challenges.
