NCSL is proud and humbled by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Papua New Guinea University of Technology (PNG UOT), opening a pathway for third and fourth-year Mathematics and Computer Science students to gain practical exposure at NCSL when opportunities arise.

Signed at the PNG UOT Lae Campus on 22 September 2026, the agreement reflects a shared commitment to developing Papua New Guinea’s emerging talent. For NCSL, it also brings fresh perspectives to our work in data analytics and digital services.

NCSL CEO Mr Frans Kootte said building local capability takes strong values, leadership and professional development. As NCSL continues its digital transformation, we look forward to supporting students as they take their next steps into the workforce.

The MOU was signed by Mr Kootte and PNG UOT Vice Chancellor Prof. Ora Renagi, and witnessed by NCSL Head of Human Resources Mr Henry Pupu and Faculty of Science Dean Prof. Panakal Jojo.
