Program details

Delivered across nine months, the program offers deep expertise, practical skills, and influential networks for engaging with Asia. The program is delivered in a hybrid format consisting of in-person and virtual modules. The learning journey includes:

• Three intensive multi-day core modules: As a national cohort, explore key themes and practical topics to help you navigate the complex and fast-changing Asia region.
• City hub intersessions/networking: Gather in city-based smaller groups, deep dive into key areas of Asia capability in applied sessions and expand your local network.
• Workplace Project: A practical, Asia-focused project on which you apply the skills and knowledge you gain in the program to achieve organisational or sector outcomes.
• Pod coaching sessions: Shape your Workplace Project together with a select group of fellow Leaders, via a facilitated process with input from peers, Asialink executives and alumni.
• Online learning platform: Offers exclusive access to program resources which includes a range of practical tools, video and reading materials, to maximise learning beyond the individual modules.

The program also offers a Virtual Hub – a pathway for leaders based in Asia, or in regional or rural Australia, to join online, or upgrade for both online and in-person access. Numbers for the Virtual Hub are strictly limited to ensure diverse and intimate class sizes.
