Abstract	This article investigates into the intricate interplay between vocational skills and soft skills as pivotal determinants of career advancement and the successful realization of Omanisation goals. Focused on specialization students from vocational college in Ibri, Oman, the article addresses the pressing need to equip them with a well-rounded skill set in the face of an increasing influx of foreign workers, primarily from Asian nations. The symbiotic relationship between vocational skills and soft skills is highlighted, emphasizing how vocational proficiency must be complemented by attributes such as effective communication, adaptability, teamwork, critical thinking, and cultural awareness. Navigating through an array of literature and authoritative reports, including those from the Ministry of Labour and Ministry of Higher Education, the article emphasizes the urgency to empower Omani graduates to stand out amidst stiff competition. It showcases the significance of embedding soft skills within vocational training, making graduates not only vocationally adept but also adept at navigating diverse work environments. The findings of this research advocate for curriculum innovation, hands-on learning, and the inclusion of courses aligned with Oman's economic strengths. In conclusion, it emphasizes the collaborative efforts of educational institutions, government bodies, and the private sector to foster an ecosystem where graduates are not only well-prepared for employment but also integral to Oman's sustainable economic growth and Omanisation aspirations.
