Port Moresby, National Capital District – 06 May 2025: The National Capital District Provincial Health Authority (NCDPHA) continues to champion equal opportunity and gender equity by empowering young women to build careers in Information and Communication Technology (ICT).
Through its IT Division, NCDPHA has partnered with Don Bosco Technical Institute (DBTI) in Port Moresby to provide hands-on training opportunities for students pursuing studies in ICT. These on-the-job training (OJT) placements allow students to apply classroom knowledge in real-world settings, equipping them with the practical skills necessary to advance their careers.
NCDPHA is proud to recognize the success of Ms. Serah Bonny, one of its outstanding ICT trainees, who recently received her certificate upon completing her OJT under the Corporate Services Directorate.
Acting IT Manager Mr. Samson Raxford Wass commended Ms. Bonny’s dedication and professionalism.
“At NCDPHA, we are strong advocates for equal opportunity and gender equity, especially in sectors like ICT where female participation has traditionally been limited,” said Mr. Wass. “Empowering women and girls in ICT is essential for building a diverse, innovative workforce that can meet the growing technological demands of our health services and the communities we serve.”
In addition to ICT, NCDPHA continues to provide practical training placements for students from nursing and technical colleges, reinforcing its commitment to education, capacity-building, and workforce development.
The NCDPHA management extends its warmest congratulations to Ms. Bonny for her well-deserved achievement and encourages more young women to pursue careers not only in ICT but across all sectors of the organization.
Together, we are shaping a future where every individual, regardless of gender, is empowered to reach their full potential.
