Boasting the largest economy in the region, Indonesia is the powerhouse of Southeast Asia.

With a population of 274 million (40% of whom are under the age of 24) that spans an archipelago of 17,000 islands, recruiters would be forgiven for not knowing where to start.

The step-off point, however, becomes clear when you realise that Indonesia is home to 195 intercultural schools – 75 in the city of Jakarta alone – serving 60,000 students across K-12, making Indonesia the second-largest international school market in the world.

Supported by the Indonesian Ministry of Education, the Indonesian International Schools Forum & Workshop is the perfect vehicle for you to meet counsellors from the country’s best intercontinental and private schools.

Indonesian High School Counsellors are highly engaged and value their participation in this event for three reasons:

• Counsellors have a focused way to meet with a large number of international universities;
• They receive free accredited CPD training from fellow counsellors and industry experts which forms part of Times Higher Education Counsellor Accreditation Programme (THE CAP);
• We provide free accommodation at the official hotel and host attendees across an array of networking events.

Each participating international education institution will be able to:

• Pre-organise appointments with high school counsellors of their choice;
• Hold 15 private meetings over the course of the event;
• Network with all participating counsellors during the lunches and coffee breaks each day;
• Participate and network during the Welcome Reception and Gala Dinner.

With so much variance in international undergraduate admissions processes and requirements, our events give counsellors the chance to not only meet industry colleagues face to face, but also enhance their own knowledge and career development.

During our workshop, counsellors will also attend educational seminars which form part of Times Higher Education Counsellor Accreditation Program (THE CAP). Consisting of 12 modules and covering a solid range of content to help improve counsellors’ daily tasks when advising students, THE CAP is a ground-breaking professional development programme to support the international school sector.

All attending counsellors will receive some in-person training from THE CAP during the event, and then finish the remaining sessions online. Once completed, they will be among an elite cohort of school counsellors who hold a globally recognised accreditation, bolstering their career profile and thereby enhancing the reputation of their school.
