About Global Business Training International
Empowering Papua New Guinea through practical, industry-driven skills training.
Our Story & Purpose
Global Business Training International (GBTI) was founded from strong academic roots at the University of Papua New Guinea and shaped by years of professional training experience.
We recognized a national challenge — thousands of capable school leavers are unable to access tertiary education each year.
