As a part of the research activity in the academic career, our students are motivated to attend conference activities to update their knowledge on the recent trends and developments in their specialization. The great emphasis on the participation in attending and organizing seminars and conferences became reality in applying their knowledge in their practical life. To start with the activity, our Senior project, Advanced diploma students of HRM specialization attended a forum on “Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Investment Forum conducted in Muscat Exhibition Center, Muscat on 23-24th January 2019.

The two-day forum aimed to activate the participation of the private sector in agricultural and fisheries investments in the Sultanate and enhancing the role of sustainable development. The forum was organized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries. It reviewed the challenges facing investment in the agricultural, fisheries and food sectors, and presented the outputs of the agricultural and fish investment committee at the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries.

Our student got benefited having interaction with the experts in the field and collected information about the developments of the fisheries sectors. The forum helped them to get insights about the employment opportunities available in the fisheries sectors since their project is related to the same field. This experience will be a great help in completing their research in a successful way.
