International Internships: Online Individual Internships
International Internships have been operating for more than 15 years. We organise internships, work-integrated learning (WIL) placements, and study intensives in Indonesia, for Australian university students, across a wide range of discipline areas. International Internships work with individual students and educational institutions, commercial organisations, and NGOs to facilitate internships, study intensives, immersion and unit-based programs, and provide career mentoring, professional skills development, cross-cultural communication, and language training.

Online Individual Internship
The COVID-19 situation has forced organisations worldwide to adapt to remote working/learning, but the truth is businesses globally have been shifting to online technologies for years to reduce costs, deliver offsite training and support and to address concerns about environmental responsibility and corporate consumption. The commercial benefits (and huge popularity) of platforms like Zoom, Teams and Whatsapp means they’re here to stay – so the skills you develop in your online internship will work for you in the corporate world.
International Internships online programs offer amazing opportunities to work remotely with an Indonesian organisation. You learn how to work with a remote, international team, and get real-world work experience. Put your studies into practice and gain an edge in the employment market.
International Internships have a range of international internships from a number of fields including:
- Environment & Sustainability
- Business & Entrepreneurship
- Design & Creative Industries
- Media & PR
- Health
- Law
- Architecture
- Science
- Social Sciences
