Key to the success of AAI is engagement with Indonesian alumni of

Australian Embassy in Jakarta with the development and implementation
of a five-year enhanced alumni engagement strategy for Indonesia. This
strategy moves beyond previous efforts to solely engage recipients of
Australia Awards scholarships to also include those alumni who
self-funded their study, short course award participants, and recipients
of Government of Indonesia scholarships.
The purpose of the strategy is to enable Australian whole-of-government
engagement with alumni who can provide long-term support for Australian
business, trade, development cooperation and promote Australian
excellence as a global education provider.

and implementation of that strategy.

Manager, and as part of a broader team that combines personnel working
in the areas of alumni, communications and promotions, the Alumni Grants
