Experience a new perspective, develop professional skills and meet new people

By joining International Internships’ ProBuddy program, you will be a mentor and friend for an Australian university student, so that they can comfortably adjust to life in Indonesia.

 

As a successful ProBuddy you will be able to practice your English, attend CV workshops and attend events, including weekend trips outside of Jakarta. You will also receive a certificate on completion of the program.

 

This is available to any Indonesian university student with intermediate-level English language skills, but more importantly a fun, outgoing, enthusiastic personality and a love of meeting new people.
