Internship in Singapore by Asia Internship Program

This was an experience of a lifetime and it’s all thanks to AIP. From the moment I arrived in Singapore I was well taken care of. I had a brilliant workplace organised for me by the AIP team and my experiences were invaluable. Working as a software engineer overseas is not an easy thing to do but when you have great people around you like I did with AIP then the experience is made seamless, and if you do have any trouble they are right there to help you. I also LOVE Singapore, it is a must visit.

I’ve always envisioned what a futuristic city would look like and I think I’ve found it! Singapore architecture is unlike anything I’ve ever seen, I mean a boat on top of a building?! Madness!

Not just that but it's so clean like I have never been to a place cleaner in my life and it all makes sense. I mean you can’t even buy gum here. I felt like I could kiss the streets but knowing how strict Singapore is I would probably get fined.

I’ve heard a lot about the magical land of Singapore so it only felt right to do an internship there. Considering its making statements on a global scale booming with a variety of different industries, I decided to pursue an internship in IT. The internship was fantastic, it was literally better than I had expected it to be! I had a great time and my supervisor was the perfect role model.

Overall I had a blast in Singapore. I’m lucky enough to have called the Lion City my home for 6 months and this wouldn’t have been possible without the help of AIP! Thank you for all your help, you’ve made someone extremely happy!

Before embarking on this internship journey abroad, I thought I had some knowledge of what Singapore would be like but I was wayyyyyy off. Choosing to intern in a Business Development industry in Singapore was the most rewarding experience I have ever had. Singapore truly is —the— capital for technology and economic advancement.

The company I had the opportunity to do an internship with was truly special. And to be honest, it didn’t take me long to figure out why (not in a boastful way). Their mixture of western and eastern culture gave me a sense of comfort while giving something new and exciting to learn every day. Ever since my internship ended, I noticed that I have been looking everywhere for similar work environments.

My internship at the company has transformed me into someone who is more culturally conscious, active, and daring to try new things (a complete opposite of who I was before the internship). My time at the company ended too soon but looking back it was an amazing chapter of my life.

I hope this review helps those of you who might be reluctant to give international internships a go yourselves, more or less. I want to sincerely thank AIP for placing me with such an awesome company and for an eye-opening experience abroad. I wouldn’t be where I am today without either of them.

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!
