Online Internships
Flexible work experience alongside your studies
Program overview
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. The International Internships team will up-skill you to work remotely with a multi-lingual, cross-cultural host organisation taking-on challenging real-world work you will be proud to include on your CV.
Internships can be full-time or part-time to fit in with your coursework, jobs or family commitments and the Indonesian time difference gives you plenty of business-hours overlap. Government grants and university scholarships are available to some students, contact us to find out if you qualify.
COVID-19 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.

Why Indonesia?
A diverse and dynamic nation and Australia's key strategic partner
Indonesia, a vibrant archipelago of over 17,000 islands, is rich in biodiversity, cultures, and traditions. Interning here immerses students in a multicultural environment, building adaptability and cross-cultural communication—essential skills in today’s global job market.
The 2019 Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IA-CEPA) opened doors to stronger strategic and commercial ties between the two nations, creating exciting opportunities for collaboration.
With Southeast Asia’s largest economy and a forecast to become the world’s fifth-largest by 2030, Indonesia offers opportunities across sectors like business, finance, technology, education, environmental conservation, and more.
