Overview
The Endeavour Executive Awards provide professional development opportunities for high achievers in business, industry, education or government from participating countries. The Awards focus on building skills and knowledge through a host work environment rather than through formal enrolment in a study program at a host institution and are not intended to fund direct academic research.
Professional development activities could include intensive management training, peer-to-peer learning, short-term courses and developing leadership skills.
Applicants must be nominated by either their home organisation or host organisation. The professional development activity must not have a commercial outcome as its purpose. Host organisations for international Executive Award applicants cannot include Australian branches of the applicant's home organisation.
A home or host organisation may nominate up to 5 applicants.
The Endeavour Executive Awards aim to:
- enable high achieving professionals to further develop their skills and knowledge
- deepen professional engagements between Australia and participating countries
- strengthen mutual understanding between the people of Australia and Award Holders’ home countries
- build linkages and networks between Australia and participating countries
- allow professionals the opportunity, on returning home, to share their updated skills and knowledge with colleagues.
Total Value of Each Award: up to AUD$20,000
