Supported by the Australian Government’s National Foundation for Australia-China Relations (NFACR) and named after the first Australian barrister of Chinese and Asian heritage and co-founder of the Sino-Australian Association the late William Ah Ket (1876-1936), this ‘exec ed’ program aims to educate, upskill and equip talented emerging Chinese-Australian leaders with the skills, knowledge and expertise to become more effective leaders in their field, and if relevant, play an active role in advancing Australia’s engagement and bilateral relationship with China.
The program will include a comprehensive academic and practical approach to focus on effective training and upskilling for emerging Chinese-Australian leaders on the following topics and more: risks and opportunities of Australia-China relations; power, influence and communication as Chinese-Australian leaders; succeeding in the Australia-China landscape; and personal profile building and finding your authentic voice.
The program is open and eligible to applicants between the ages of 30 to 45 who self-identify as Chinese-Australian and/or an Australian of Chinese heritage. The four-day program will be taking place from 20 to 24 August 2023 at ANU’s campus in Canberra. Successful participants will be attending free of charge with accommodation and travel covered – all thanks to the incredible generosity of NFACR.
