In June we welcomed two groups of students - for the Remote Global Internship and the in-county internship in Kuala Lumpur respectively. Both groups of interns had had their Pre-departure and Orientation presentations with Internship Manager, Natasha Brand, who ushered them into their internships armed and prepared with the essential information and useful tips they’d need for the weeks to come.

Director, Jan Drew also made an appearance during Orientation to welcome the students, congratulate them and wished them well in their upcoming endeavor. Watch video below.

JMD Consulting Ltd (The Global Student registered company) was awarded the contract to manage and operate the Study Melbourne Hub in Kuala Lumpur (SMHKL) in June 2021. The Hub is one of four being developed by Global Education Victoria with its primary function being to support current Malaysian students who had returned home due to the pandemic and are unable to travel back to their Victorian institutions to complete their programs, as well as those who intends to commence their studies in Victoria but are left grounded till the travel ban is lifted.

TGS would like to send a huge shout out to the team at the School of Life and Environmental Sciences at Deakin University for their UA teaching award last week for Citizenship and Globalisation.  This school has 80% of its students undertake an international mobility experience, 3 times the national average of 25%, an incredible effort.

Five weeks into their remote global internship, our group of summer interns from Swinburme, LaTrobe and University of Melbourne are no longer strangers to Malaysian remote working life, some of them even started ending their sentences with the ever-so-Malaysian ‘lah’.
