Sohar Aluminium Embraces Leadership Training

Following a successful pilot programme, CTP Middle East North Africa (MENA) has now been engaged to provide ongoing training in the field of Leadership and Management for Sohar Aluminium in Oman. Sohar Aluminium is the newest addition to the Middle East’s metals circuit and Oman’s first foray into the aluminium industry.

The CTP programme is aimed at supervisors within Sohar Aluminium with a view to developing more robust leadership, decision-making and communications skills. The programme adheres to the UK Institute of Leadership Management (ILM) standards, as CTP’s training personnel in Oman are ILM qualified.

The pilot programme initially consisted of a three module introduction for supervisors, with a further three modules being requested. For six months from October 2014 onwards, two programmes will run concurrently consisting of two days per week of classroom time, with a further eight days of action coaching in the workplace. In total seven CTP staff will be involved in the delivery of the programme.

Commented CTP MENA’s lead-trainer, Andrew Garven, “Developing powerful leadership skills allows an organisation to move forward with confidence as part of a deliberate strategy – and we applaud the journey that Sohar Aluminium has begun. As a result of CTP’s programme, stakeholders will see a change in the way supervisors inspire their staff to commit one hundred per cent to the task in hand – with benefits for delivery, reliability, efficiency and safety for all.”
