Throughout the program, students receive a range of training opportunities and support to develop their leadership, community engagement, public speaking, networking, professional writing and media skills to promote the Northern Territory as an ideal study destination. The program also aims to foster students’ personal and professional skills that will increase their future employability prospects.

Student Ambassadors also receive unique opportunities, including invitations to business and community functions, networking events and international delegation activities to expand their networks and showcase the valuable contribution international students make to the Northern Territory’s local community.
It is a year-long program, with the next program commencing in early 2025.
