For future leaders, GIFT provides training and education in the form of a unique "life-changing experience" for young executive managers who will one day become leaders in society.

Through working on-site with a group of other young leaders from different industries, sectors, cultures and geography, young leaders will:

Study on-site the taught theories of corporate governance, political reform, ethics, sustainability principles, diversity issues and social responsibility

Undergo "immersion learning" using less formal methods and spend time in the field working with villagers, local community leaders, government officials, local business leaders and aid workers

Write a short and action-directed dissertation on a selected theme from a broad range of issues related to the field project for assessment

Projects will be selected that will provide real exposure to globalisation-linked issues confronting communities and which have a real bearing on business and public sector policies.
