Maritime Cadetship for Women

The Cadetship program under the Australia Awards In- PNG Scholarship certified the ten female pioneers who all successfully completed their studies at the Maritime College in Madang in 2021.

The scholarship has allowed Aigil to travel to overseas ports. Whilst in Singapore on the 57^th floor of the Marina Bay Skypark Observation Deck, with a panoramic view of the city, she observed development in a different city.

Dago has never regretted her decision, saying, “Thank God I did because it is a really nice program. It is a big privilege to be under Australia Awards sponsorship.”

Her experiences stretched her beyond her comfort zone and taught her to be resilient and strong. Having no prior work experience and graduating from an all-girls high school, the predominantly male environment was new.
