Internship in Singapore by Asia Internship Program

It's been hectic and crazy the past months and it caused me to be stuck here in Singapore. It was a bit scary at first because I didn't really know the extent of this pandemic and how long it would stay so I had to plan and figure out what I wanted to do with my life for the next following months. Lucky enough, I stumbled across AIP through an advertisement in Facebook and it made me really interested with the program. Seeing that I was going to be stuck here for a few months, I decided to go with an internship in Singapore and see where it leads me. The internship experience was great and actually meaningful for my future. I'm glad I was a part of this program and that I got to experience something that many people look for.

Despite the ongoing global pandemic, I was lucky enough to find an internship with the help of AIP. AIP was very helpful in finding me an amazing business development internship. It felt surreal at first because a lot of friends were struggling in finding an internship but stumbling upon AIP was great. I even had the chance to share the experience with a couple of my friends and they're looking to join AIP as well.

I learnt a lot not just about my field or industry, but also about how to collaborate and form meaningful relationships with my colleagues. Thank you AIP!

I'm really happy to have had an internship experience in Singapore! Looking at the situation today with the global pandemic, I'm really glad that I took the opportunity couple of months before 2020. Businesses at the time was stable and people were traveling in and out. My experience in general was fantastic. I've joined internship program like AIP in the past but AIP really stood out out of all them with their fantastic service. I also felt that I got what I was paying for which was something that was important to me as it didn't feel like a scam of any kind. Can most definitely vouch for AIP and I recommended this program to every student out there!

To say that this internship was just great is an understatement. In addition to a massive help from AIP and my point of contact helping day in and day out, spending my last 2 months in Singapore to do an internship was something I was definitely looking for. The pandemic literally put my plans to go to South Korea on hold and it was really frustrating staying in Singapore doing nothing but remote classes. The decision to find an internship was one of those things that when I look back, I'll be super proud of. Can't express enough how grateful I am to have work experience abroad at one of the worst times of my life.

I'd like to say that this experience was both terrifying but also educational for me and I can't thank AIP enough for giving me this opportunity. Obviously the beginning was such a hassle with the COVID-19 outbreak and the whole country going on lockdown, I thought that this experience was going to go bad. Had to work from home at the start but it suddenly took a turn a couple of weeks later, and we were allowed to go back to the offices. Despite the restrictions, I was able to still work and build relationships with my colleagues which was a blessing and I won't take for granted. I was also grateful for the Community Manager of AIP for keeping in touch with me and actually even taking the time to speak with me often while I was working at home just so that I wasn't lonely at all, definitely appreciative of that. The company overall was very kind to me and my supervisor assisted me all throughout the way. I'm really interested in coming back once this pandemic is over and possibly doing full time. Thanks to AIP and everyone!

I was lucky enough to find an internship with the help of AIP despite the ongoing global pandemic. I initially wanted to find my way to Japan but with the lockdown in place and the country being closed, I ended up in Singapore since I was already here for my studies. AIP was extremely helpful in finding me a great business development internship and although there were strict rules and regulations to follow, I was able to work at the office and build great relationship with my colleagues, which was something that I was looking for in this internship. Can't thank AIP enough for all the help!

Brilliant program, with everything that a person who is looking for an internship is in need. My journey with AIP have started quite a while ago, however, due to personal reasons I was not able to join the program as was initially planned. My placement coordinator kindly helped me with postponing the start date for a year, and the process cost me the exact same fee, no additional amount has been charged. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for an internship this organization and personally suggest to go with Standard package. Even if it looks like a big amount at the first glance but in reality by dividing it into months basis, everything becomes very clear and affordable. On top of that, for me, Singapore was the place I’ve never been before so the support from someone who is present there for years is definitely vital aspect. Of course the majority of features from AIP package could be arranged on their own but you can’t imagine how convenient and easy it was for me with the package from the program. Every question I had was answered very friendly and professionally, I’ve met a lot of new people, due to work and also other participants. The company I've been placed at was really friendly and experienced with other interns before. Really grateful to my parents and AIP for making this possible. Now I am working full time in Singapore and plan to stay in Asia for longer since the region is growing extremely fast. Without any hesitation will advice to anyone with big ambitions to grow and earn to come to Asia.

I did quite a bit of research before joining AIP because I never really thought of interning abroad before but at the same time, I felt like I didn't want to stay in New Zealand forever. After looking online a bit and talking with AIP, I decided that Singapore would be the best opportunity for me considering that English is still the primary language there.

I'm really pleased with the attentiveness that my placement coordinator Frederick took into my application. I was looking for something related to graphic design and AIP was able to secure a company for me that creates package designs. I applied well in advance (8 months prior I think) but the process didn't start until about 4-5 months before my scheduled start date. But the time was pretty smooth once everything started. I think it took about 3 weeks total for the company interview (I needed a second interview with the CEO) and arranging my accommodation, visa preparations, etc.

All in all, I got a lot out of the experience and really enjoyed my time in Singapore. I would recommend AIP if you're thinking about going with AIP!
