International Internships has been facilitating internships for Australian and international students in Indonesia for over 10 years, but the last four years have seen it grow and change immensely. We now work with a number of universities in Australia and Indonesia to facilitate internships, study intensives and unit-based programs in Indonesia and Malaysia, along with career mentoring, professional skills development, cross-cultural communication and language training. Our programs are based around the belief that international study and work experiences should be unfiltered and real, with the right support to keep students safe, happy and experiencing everything to its maximum.

Therefore, you will typically be undertaking several tasks simultaneously.

You will also have a frequent contact with interns before their arrival and once they are in country.

The position is based in Jakarta, which is where most of our Indonesian programs take place. However, we do also operate in other parts of Indonesia, so you may be required to travel across the country at times.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Working with participants and host organisations in Indonesia to place program participants in suitable internships.
