The new skills initiative will expand support to TVET institutions in three locations, starting in Bougainville, the Western Highlands and Manus.
This follows a joint commitment made between Australia and Papua New Guinea in August through the Comprehensive Strategic and Economic Partnership, signed during the virtual leaders’ summit between Prime Ministers Scott Morrison and James Marape.
The initiative was launched by Australian High Commissioner to Papua New Guinea, Jon Philp, at the Bougainville Technical College in Tinputz.
