Annisa Istighfari, Student, RMIT

“Through the program I learned how to communicate with people who are different from me not only in terms of cultural but also academic backgrounds; and trying to come up with a collective solution to a challenge.” 

Why take part?

  • Become equipped with the leadership skills to build relationships and deliver results across cultural boundaries
  • Develop deeper self-awareness through uncovering cultural influences and their impact on behaviour
  • Be better able to inspire and motivate diverse groups with different perspectives

How to apply

What is involved?
  • The program content itself takes around four hours to complete and is spread across the first two weeks (you might go faster or slower depending on your learning style, you could do it all in one go or module by module).
  • You will also be asked to complete two pieces of assessment at the end of the second week, in addition to the program content – this is not designed to be onerous but may take you an additional one to two hours. 

 

  • In the third week of the program, you will be asked to peer review one of the assessments mentioned above for one of your fellow learners – this should take no more than 15 minutes. 

So the program could take you up to 6.5 hours, spread across three weeks.
