IT Skills Training for Women

Microsoft Unlimited Potential (UP) Curriculum
WIT Oman Partner Organizations receive support from Microsoft, including the Microsoft Unlimited Potential (UP) curriculum and instructor training. By training instructors from each Partner Organization, Microsoft establishes each organization as a Community Technology Center (CTC). This creates job opportunities for women IT experts to join the program as UP trainers. Each CTC will train a minimum of 100 women during the first year of the program.
