NHI Students off to Jebal Akhder

A group of National Training Fund students from NHI went to Jebal Akhder in June

sponsored and organized by Oman Outward Bound. The students spent three days

camping and trekking the mountains, learning about working together as a group and

relying on each other. The experience helped to develop skills in self-discipline and

team working

and group decision-

making. These skills

are an integral part

of NHI’s Iftekhar

training, linked to the

employment-funded

programme. Robert

MacLean, Principal said, “We are very grateful to Oman Outward Bound for providing

opportunities for NHI students to learn new skills in a totally different environment which

will enhance their readiness for the workplace when they complete their course."

the team enjoyed lunch at NHI’s CLASSROOM

Restaurant where they were able to see the live

training in the kitchen and in the restaurant. The
