IRC Highlights Graduate Career Opportunities - UPNG Career Expo,2026

Friday, 28 August 2026 | UPNG Drill Hall, Port Moresby: Students attending the University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG) Career Expo have shown strong interest in the Internal Revenue Commission's (IRC) Graduate Development Program (GDP) 2026, with many seeking information on graduate recruitment opportunities and careers in tax administration.

Throughout the two-day event at the UPNG Drill Hall, students visited our booth to learn about eligibility requirements, graduate pathways and opportunities to build a career with the Commission

The expo has provided an important platform for us to raise awareness of the Graduate Development Program, 2026, which targets final-year students and recent graduates in priority disciplines including Accounting, Business Management, Human Resources, Information Technology, Economics, Law, Public Policy, Public Relations and Strategic Management.

Speaking during the event, our HR Learning and Development team lead Nichola Kolohu said the current Graduate Development Program aligns with the IRC's vision of building a robust, modern and efficient tax administration capable of meeting the country's future needs.

"Our aim is to build a modern, strategic and capable workforce by attracting talented graduates with diverse skills, ideas and perspectives who can become the next generation of strategic managers and leaders in tax administration,” Nichola said.

Throughout the expo, our vibrant and committed officers from the HR Learning and Development and the Taxpayer Services teams responded to numerous enquiries about the Graduate Development Program, including eligibility requirements, recruitment processes and professional development opportunities within the Commission.

To encourage greater engagement, the team also conducted interactive quizzes and awareness activities at the booth, giving students an opportunity to test their knowledge of the IRC and stay informed about the Commission's latest initiatives and activities.

The event also enabled the IRC to strengthen relationships with academic institutions, industry representatives and professionals across various sectors. Meanwhile, the Taxpayer Services Team provided on-the-spot assistance to attendees seeking information on taxpayer registration, lodgement requirements and the filing of tax returns.

With the second and final day of the expo underway today, the IRC looks forward to engaging with more students and aspiring professionals interested in contributing to Papua New Guinea's development through a career in tax administration.

Government Agencies Advance Digital Integration and Registry Modernisation for Better Public Services.

Port Moresby, 3 September 2026

Key government agencies have joined forces to advance digital integration and registry modernisation, aimed at delivering more connected, efficient and citizen-focused services across Papua New Guinea.

At a high-level stakeholder meeting convened on 2 September 2026 at the IRC Headquarters in Port Moresby, representatives from key government agencies met to explore opportunities for interoperability between their systems and to discuss a coordinated approach to digital transformation and registry modernisation.

The meeting was jointly chaired by Sam Loi, Acting Commissioner General of the IRC, and Clarence Hoot, Managing Director, IPA. attended by senior representatives from IPA, ICSA, MVIL, DCI and DICT.

The discussions focused on how agencies can work together to build secure digital connections between their respective systems, enabling more efficient information sharing, streamlined registration processes, improved data quality, and enhanced services for businesses and citizens.

Opening the meeting, the Acting Commissioner General highlighted the Government's vision for digital transformation and the importance of adopting a whole-of-government approach to digital service delivery.

He emphasized that successful digital integration must be underpinned by strong data governance, cybersecurity safeguards, and adherence to national digital policies.

He also stressed the importance of incorporating Digital ID, electronic signatures, and trusted online credentials into future systems to improve the integrity, security, and reliability of government registries.

The meeting provided an opportunity for participating agencies to present updates on their respective digital transformation initiatives and to outline future plans for delivering more accessible, efficient, and secure online services.

Participants agreed that modernising government registries and enabling interoperability across agencies will reduce duplication, improve data accuracy, strengthen compliance and validation processes, and provide a better experience for citizens and businesses interacting with government services.

A key component of the discussions was the proposed integration between the IRC's Integrated Tax Administration System (ITAS) and the IPA's business registration platform.

The proposed interface would enable the secure exchange of information, allowing real-time verification and synchronisation of business registration and taxpayer data.

This initiative is expected to improve data integrity, strengthen taxpayer registration and compliance, reduce manual processing, and support the Government's broader digital transformation agenda.

Speaking after the meeting, Clarence M. Hoot, Managing Director of the IPA, welcomed the collaborative discussions and described the engagement as an important first step toward a more integrated government digital ecosystem.

He noted that interoperability between agencies will enhance service delivery, strengthen information sharing, and support whole-of-government efficiency.

The meeting also explored opportunities to modernise additional government registries, including the Cooperatives Registry administered by the Department of Commerce and Industry. Participants noted that modernising legacy and paper-based systems will improve accessibility, efficiency, data management, and support future regulatory reforms.

The discussions acknowledged potential support from development partners, including the Asian Development Bank's Pacific Private Sector Development Initiative (ADB-PSDI), subject to formal consideration and approval processes.

Participants agreed to continue engagement through technical consultations and collaborative planning to identify practical pathways for implementation.

The agencies also committed to maintaining a strong focus on data security, privacy protection, system integrity, and the adoption of common standards to support future digital integration initiatives.

The collaborative effort reflects the Government's commitment to building modern, connected and citizen-focused public services that support economic growth, improve compliance, reduce administrative burdens, and enhance the ease of doing business in Papua New Guinea.
