STRATEGIC PLAN 2011-2015

“PORT MORESBY TECHNICAL COLLEGE PROVIDES RELEVANT HIGH LEVEL, SUSTAINABLE, INNOVATIVE AND QUALITY TECHNICAL SKILLS TRAINING IN PNG AND THE SOUTH PACIFIC’ by 2015”.

It is with great pleasure that Port Moresby Technical College presents its Strategic Plan 2011-2015.

In 2011 there has been a significant refocus on the importance of Technical and Vocational Education at Government, Business, Community and Donor levels. 

The Vision 2050 formally recognizes the importance of developing a skilled workforce to support the exciting growth period that Papua New Guinea is blessed with.

Technical Colleges and Port Moresby Technical College in particular are set to play a key role in achieving the major targets of Vision 2050 through the delivery of world class trade training that is demand driven and meets the current and emerging needs of Government, Business and the Community.

Quality is the critical factor in Port Moresby Technical College achieving the standards of delivery and assessment demanded by clients – the students, parents, business owners and government agencies. This Strategic Plan 2011-2015 is based on the recommendations of the rigorous AusAID TVET Needs Analysis undertaken in late 2010 and early 2011.

Significant investment of time and money are required in Human Resources, Infrastructure, Curriculum, Training Equipment, Governance, Leadership and Financial Management, Policies and Procedures to ensure effective and efficient delivery of training that meets client needs. The Strategic Plan 2011-2015 addresses each of these key areas.

For the successful implementation of the important goals, objectives and action plans developed by Port Moresby Technical College Staff, Governing Council and representatives of TVET Division of the Department of Education, there needs to be a sustained commitment by all stakeholders. This includes provision of funding to support Project Managers to drive the successful implementation of each goal, significant investment in staff development and ‘fit for purpose’ infrastructure and training equipment that meet international industry standards.

In the Global Economy it is important to develop international partnerships and ‘communities of practice’. The Strategic Plan 2011-2015 includes goals and objectives to develop and maintain strong partnerships with reputable international training providers.
