LeadershipConnect is a six-month, tailored program of leadership learning, networking and support for Australia Awards scholars and alumni of all genders from the Pacific.
Developed and delivered by WLI in partnership with La Trobe University’s Centre for Human Security and Social Change (CHSSC) and The Asia Foundation (TAF) Pacific Islands, it brings together a selection of the most popular content, guest speakers and opportunities from WLI's prestigious Women’s Developmental Leadership Program.
