The founders of OIC established seven (7) objectives. They are:

1. To train or retrain millions of men and women with untapped talents and unknown skills, who are unemployed and under-employed.
2. To involve the total community in the awareness of the value of preparation, thereby stimulating and inspiring individuals to seek higher levels of productivity, creativity, and achievement.
3. To develop among other trainees and associates a sense of increased economic security.
4. To foster and nurture a sense of self pride which will give the trainee confidence and enable him/her to participate with dignity in the total society.
5. To stimulate loyalty and pride in the community; a sense of brotherhood involving all religious, racial, cultural, economic, political and other groups.
6. To adapt the training program to meet the challenge of changing technological advances and current business needs.
7. To develop an awareness of man's relationships and responsibilities to his fellow human, along with the ability to act in a constructive manner in the community and the world.

Hence, Opportunities Industrialization Centers seek to develop the "whole person".
