![]() TWENTY-one leaders from the Kokoda Track Foundation (KTF) have had work experience and met inspiring leaders in all works of life in Australia. According to KTF, this was part of an annual Archer Leadership Development Programme for final year tertiary students in Papua New Guinea who had shown leadership potential and the desire to serve their communities and country as young leaders. The programme helped participants to grow and develop their leadership capabilities.
KTF guides their leadership journey, supporting them throughout the year with mentoring, tuition and boarding fees support, education and professional development resourcing, work experience and assistance to implement community projects in a community of choice. The recent exchange trip was part of the programme, but due to Coronavirus (Covid-19) lockdowns, the exchange programme for Archer leaders of cohorts 2020 and 2021 had to be put on hold till this year when borders opened. Thus the 2020 and 2021 cohorts were able to travel with the 2022 group to Sydney. All cohorts had an opportunity to participate in two days’ work experience in organisations relating to their areas of study. The young leaders joined law firms, hospitals, veterinary clinics, chemistry labs, non-governmental organsations, mining and engineering headquarters, reserve banks and news studios right across Australia’s east coast during their exchange. Six of the Archer leaders spent two days in Brisbane with Newcrest Mining, visiting and engaging with mining engineering experts as well as mining PhD candidates from the University of Queensland. The trip was jam-packed and allowed for the students to meet with leaders in both public and private sectors and also visited the New South Wales Parliament House and Parliament members.
