Jakarta – The Internships Jakarta is the capital of Indonesia and is a huge city, with an estimated population of around 20 million people in the greater city area. Indonesia’s strong economic growth in recent times has led to a rapid transformation of Jakarta and today there is incredible wealth alongside abject poverty in many areas of the city. The rapid growth has brought many challenges, including the infamous traffic, but Jakarta is definitely a place on the move and has an amazing buzz! Internship Your internship will take place in Jakarta, where you will work at your host organisation from approximately 9am-5pm each day for the three weeks. At the conclusion of the program all teams will gather, along with management from the organisations, and each team will present their findings. The host organisations will be closely involved in the recruitment process, so make sure your CV is up to date and well presented. You should also be ready to be called on for a Skype interview if requested. The placement process can take a while, but we will be in regular contact with you throughout, to keep you updated and to get your input whenever needed. Team Size:

3-4

Team Composition:

Each team will include 2-3 Australian students and 1-2 local students. This format gives you an opportunity to work closely in a team across cultures and language barriers. Each team can be made up of students from the same or different disciplines.

Nature of Work:

The work given by your host organisation will be project-based, although you may also be involved in the everyday tasks of the organisation. Projectbased work is ideal for short-term placements and will allow you to work towards a specific goal during your time with their host organisations.

We will also organise optional activities on some evenings, but you will have plenty of opportunity to do your own thing and we can provide lots of guidance and advice so just let us know if there's something you'd really like to do in Jakarta.

Case Studies from Previous Team Internship Programs ANZ Bank Intern: Dom, Brandon, Robyn and Niko Main area of study: Commerce and Law Internship: The team members each worked in a different division, according to their area of study. While working on the day-to-day tasks of their division, they also looked for ways to increase the efficiency in ANZ’s document management systems, which they then presented as a report to the ANZ management. Dom’s experience: “This internship has aided my growth both personally and professionally. I am thankful for the opportunity to meet fantastic people and work in such a pleasant work environment.” Representative of ANZ: “I was amazed to see the presentation – the areas to be improved and the remedies [the interns] have recommended are very much useful to ANZ. These interns were very great performers, even in the short time of the internship.”

Legal Aid Indonesia Interns: Hannah, Lydia and Lucy Main area of study: International Studies Internship: The team conducted research into the juvenile justice system in Indonesia, with a focus on the issues that limited the prisoners’ ability to reintegrate into society upon their release. They visited several prisons and interviewed prisoners as well as conducting desk research. At the conclusion of their internship the team presented Legal Aid Indonesia with a comprehensive report of their findings and

presented them to their colleagues. Lydia’s experience: “You hear about all the issues encountered by NGOs but you can’t really understand until you go and experience it 9-5 every day. The team were so resilient and persistent in the work that they do and I know I can learn from that.” Ibu Yastini (Legal Aid Indonesia): “We enjoyed having the interns and hope they got some experience and knowledge about law enforcement in Indonesia and protection of children, particularly about juvenile justice and how paralegals and community legal systems were involved when facing juvenile cases in their communities. I wish this program will continue and hope LAI will remain your partner.”

Victorian Government Business Office Interns: Norbert, Wil, Kat and Anete Main area of study: General Business Internship: The team worked on the assessing the viability of exporting certain Victorian products to Indonesia, and how they should be marketed. Norbert’s experience: “I now have practical knowledge to back up the theoretical things I’ve learn in studying my degree. This internship not only contributed to my degree but it was also a great life experience.” Victorian Trade Commissioner: “We saw having interns as a way of offering extra services to our clients, but also offering a different perspective of researching and developing a project that we wouldn’t have been able to do otherwise. It was also a great way to enable students to experience international commerce and international business engagement”.
