**About the Program**

The New Colombo Plan (NCP) is an Australian Government initiative that provides opportunities for Australian undergraduate university students to develop their Indo-Pacific capability and Asia literacy through immersive, structured learning and internships in the Indo-Pacific region. The program fosters deeper people-to-people and education relationships and increases Australia's economic engagement with the region by supporting NCP participants to build job-ready skills and supporting NCP alumni to maintain their ties to the Indo-Pacific.
