SUMMARY: Human Resource Leadership for Future Work  – a Mekong Region
DESCRIPTION: The Laos Australia Institute (LAI) is a partnership between the governments of Australia and Laos, with the aim 
of improving skills and capacities, at both the individual and organisational levels, to support economic and 
social development priorities in Laos. The mission of LAI is to improve Laos’ human resources through 
scholarships, training and organisational capacity building.
LAI administers Australia Awards on behalf of the Government of Australia. Australia Awards are prestigious 
international scholarships and short courses offering the next generation of global leaders an opportunity to 
undertake study, research and professional development. Australia Awards contribute to the long-term 
objectives of promoting growth and stability in our region, as well as strengthening links between people and 
organisations to enhance mutual understanding and cooperation. They equip recipients with the skills and 
knowledge to drive change and contribute to the economic and social development of their own countries, in 
effect, building the human resource capacity of partner countries within mutually agreed development sectors.
Australia Awards Short Courses are targeted programs of intensive training to address specific technical or
soft skills gaps. They are formal study or training opportunities delivered by an Australian higher education
provider or a Registered Training Organisation in Australia and/or in partner countries.Human Leadership for Future Work
Planned Dates (TBC): late June or early July 2023 to November 2023 (20 days in 3 modules)LAI will offer an Australia Award Short Course to help ensure that emerging Human Resource Management 
leaders in the Mekong region are well prepared to develop their human resources ready for this future world 
of work and raising the capability and productivity of the ASEAN workforce. Participation in this course will 
ensure the participants are aware of current national, regional and international issues regarding the need 
for equitable, inclusive skills development to adapt to the changing world of work; relevant policies for 
continuous professional development and implementation strategies; the role of goals, performance 
indicators, incentives and recognition in managing work performance; functional labour market information 
systems; and institutionalising strategic human resource development planning to ensure a capable 
workforce. These broad topics are drawn from the ASEAN agreed Roadmap.
This course will be designed and delivered so that participants can attend the Australian Human Resources 
Institute (AHRI) Convention to be held 8 - 10 August 2023. This convention is the largest human resources 
networking event in Australia, where the latest thinking, and trends in practices and tools are presented and 
available for evaluation by individuals and organisations in a professional networking environment.
This course will be delivered by experts managed by a reputable Australian education provider yet to be selected.
