International Internships has been working with most Australian Universities and leading Indonesian organisations to facilitate high quality in-country and online internships, for over 15 years.
Our mission is to facilitate meaningful experiences that inspire students to grow as people and kick start their career.

Our priorities are innovation, sustainability, intercultural understanding, social impact and real relationships.
What can I participate in?
Program 1: Individual Internship
Students will be placed with an organisation located in Jakarta.
