“I love that IDP’s values are closely aligned with mine.

At IDP, everyone is supportive and willing to help you develop and grow. Empowering people to achieve their goals is big on my list and being part of that equation at IDP is huge for me.  

After completing my degree in Australia, I moved back to Malaysia and started working in the entertainment sector. Although I was thoroughly enjoying and flourishing in my career, I wanted to relocate to Australia with my family. I couldn’t stay away for long from the country that was famous for the great humour of its people, stunning scenery, and a better work-life balance. 

I was happy to receive an offer from IDP and jumped at the opportunity to work with the leader and pioneer in the international education sector. I knew I made the right choice as I was going home feeling fulfilled every day. Knowing that I am making a difference, helping somebody move through a challenge and towards their goals, keeps me going.

The exciting opportunities at IDP, to feel connected, to be engaged and productive in my work are infinite! 

Every one of my managers has empowered me to succeed. They have given me a chance and stretched me with honest feedback, allowing me to excel and achieve greater heights. Their mentorship has played a major role in my career development! 

I measure success based on how happy I am. This opens several opportunities for me to appreciate life. Goals that I set for myself aren’t just around achievements but how contented I am. What is important to me is helping people succeed. I like giving my team members wings so they can fly. Seeing them win makes me happy.  

I found my tribe in IDP. They are the ones with whom I want to share important news first, apart from my own family. I love that my team members are open-minded and creatively collaborative. Oftentimes, I am blown away by their talent and passion. And the best part is we like each other, have heaps of fun and laugh a lot.” – Kavitha Doraimanickam, IELTS Marketing Manager, Australasia 

Thank you, Kavitha, for the heart-warming and enlightening message. It’s amazing that while talking about your journey with IDP, your excitement is just as much as your passion for travel, adventure, and movies!
