SPORTS
Overview
The developing countries in ASEAN offer great opportunities for real work experience as the growing middle class increasingly participates in sports for health and encourages their children to pursue competitive sports. In Malaysia, key cycling and athletics coaches are experienced Australians. Expat coaches, sports scientists, medical professionals, and sports managers are in demand as leagues, clubs, and professional organisations expand alongside government efforts to boost international competitiveness.
TGS offers diverse opportunities to prepare you for the fast-paced sports industry. You can gain hands-on experience in event management, mentoring young athletes, sports journalism, league and club management, sponsorship development, coaching, and sports psychology. Interning in ASEAN’s sports sector equips you to confidently launch your career and tackle challenges.
This program not only boosts your skills as a sports professional but also allows you to contribute to ASEAN’s growing sports industry. ASEAN looks to countries like Australia to help develop the next generation of sports professionals – benefiting you, local organisations, and the sports sector.
Sport is a global industry that offers a myriad of opportunities for engagement and cultural exchange without having to be an elite athlete.
The Australian government even has a Sports Diplomacy strategy!
