City Administrator Alexander T. Rosete has completed his Master’s in Business Administration (Global) at the University of Western Australia (UWA), marking another milestone in his professional development and public service career.
Rosete completed the two-year graduate program after earning a Post Graduate Diploma in Management from the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) during the first year and completing the MBA (Global) program at UWA in his second year.
His studies covered strategic management, leadership, organizational development, decision-making and global business practices, which he said broadened his understanding of management and its application to public-sector organizations.
“Education is not simply about earning another credential. In public service, learning must translate into better decisions, more efficient systems, and services that respond to the needs of our people. Every lesson in leadership and management carries a responsibility. The real measure of what we learn is how we use that knowledge to improve government operations and create meaningful results for the people we serve,” Rosete said.
He said his exposure to international practices reinforced the importance of innovation and adaptability in government.
“Local governments operate in a changing environment. We need to remain open to new ideas, learn from effective practices, and adapt them to the realities and needs of our own communities. Innovation in government should always have one purpose: to make public service more accessible, efficient and responsive,” Rosete said.
Rosete added that good administration should remain centered on the public, with systems, policies and technology serving the public interest.
He also emphasized that learning should continue beyond earning a diploma, saying new knowledge brings greater responsibility to serve communities and improve government operations.
UWA, established in 1911 and based in Perth, is a member of Australia’s Group of Eight, a coalition of research-intensive universities.
