Incredible Internship Experience!

I was originally a little hesitant about doing an internship abroad but AIP did a great job at making it a good experience! All the staff were incredibly friendly, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire program, from beginning to end. Whenever I had questions, they were quick to help and made me feel supported every step of the way. They also helped me secure an internship that matched my career interests and it really goes to show that they care about their program participants. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking for an organized and rewarding internship abroad experience!

So awesome!

The AIP staff were amazing from start to finish. From picking us up at the airport to providing support and recommendations throughout, they were great. They welcomed me with open arms and gave me wonderful guidance the entire time. An absolutely unforgettable experience made possible by the kindness of AIP. They led us on hikes, took us to clinics, and gave incredible recommendations for activities and places to eat. They did a great job pairing me with my host company, and I feel much more prepared for the corporate world now.

Unforgettable Internship Experience in Seoul

Thank you AIP for making my six-week internship in Seoul unforgettable! When I first got on the plane, I was nervous, but as soon as I landed and was greeted by an AIP staff member, I immediately felt more comfortable. A special thank you to Herlyn for helping me with my placement and making the process smoother. Even in a stressful situation, like losing my passport, the AIP team guided me through it and helped me feel supported. I am very grateful for this experience and would recommend AIP to anyone looking for an internship abroad.

Great internship experience!

AIP did a great job at matching me with an internship in South Korea that was well aligned with my career goals. I had a wonderful time interacting with my coworkers and getting an inside look at the Korean work environment. Through this experience, I was able to become more confident about my future career goals, as well as develop key skills such as cross-cultural communication. The AIP staff was always there if I needed help, and they gave me great guidance about how to navigate Seoul. Overall, my experience with AIP was invaluable!

Once in a lifetime experience

I did a 4 month internship in Tokyo through AIP which was a once in a lifetime experience.

From the start of the application process, the AIP team were extremely helpful in finding me a relevant internship based on my interests and career aspirations. When I was Japan they stayed in touch and were there to help with any issues. I would like to especially thank Airi and Kate for their support!

I did a digital marketing and PR internship which allowed me to be involved and take ownership of a wide range of tasks throughout my internship period. I definitely learned a lot!

My program also included a tour and I got the chance to visit Mt. Fuji and Kamakura which were amazing.

Also through my company I was able to experience traditional Japanese cultural activities such as tea ceremonies and flower arraigning classes which I had never done before!

It was always a dream of mine to try living and working in Japan and through the AIP program this was made possible. I would definitely recommend AIP to anyone who is looking to gain international work experience.

January Internship @ Kobe, Japan

With AIP’s support, I was able to enjoy a rare opportunity to live in Japan for half a year on an internship. At each stage from resume-building to closing off my internship, the AIP team were involved in every process, which gave me a great deal of confidence to undergo my internship. During my time there, it was relatively fuss-free and I knew who to turn to in case of any issues cropping up. Special thanks to Kate, Herlyn, Nisha, and Alex for your responsiveness and well wishes during my time with AIP!

It was fun

It was a good time to be in Japan, and my three-month internship was a steady and informative experience overall. During this time, I was able to observe how a professional work environment operates on a day-to-day basis. I became more familiar with workplace expectations, communication styles, and the general structure of a company. The experience gave me a better understanding of how tasks are organized and how teams work together to complete them.

Throughout the internship, I developed professional skills such as time management, organization, and communication. I also had the chance to see how cultural differences can influence the way people interact and approach their work.

Outside of the workplace, being in Japan allowed me to experience a different culture and environment. This added to the overall experience and made the internship more memorable. I was able to explore new places, try different foods, and gain a broader perspective.

Overall, the internship was a solid learning experience. It gave me general exposure to a professional setting and helped me better understand what to expect in future work environments.
