IDP Education is the world's largest student placement firm

Overview:
IDP Education is the world's largest student placement firm, with more than 500 professional counselors in more than 70 company-owned counseling centers throughout Asia and the Middle East.  What sets IDP apart is its commitment to students; the counselors are company employees who have been professionally trained and who are focused on creating the right match between student and institution.  The company has existed for more than 40 years and its assessment, matching and application support services are the gold standard in international recruitment, which is why one in four students currently enrolled in an Australian higher education program were placed by IDP.  The organization is jointly owned by 38 Australian universities and SEEK.com, Australia's leading online employment and training company.  It is part owner of the IELTS English proficiency exam and is a major sponsor of international education research.

History:
IDP Education was established in 1969 as an aid body funded by the Australian government to strengthen teaching and research in South Asia institutions.  By 1984, the aid program had expanded to include the South Pacific, and became the International Development Program (IDP) of Australian Universities and Colleges.  Since then, it has grown into an organization with three major business arms: international student recruitment, English language testing, and the management of international aid projects.  It also developed and operates one of the world’s largest international education conferences, the Australian International Education Conference, AIEC.
