Amazing experience, highly recommend

I had a great experience abroad with AIP. I went to Seoul, South Korea and did a tech internship for 6 weeks, and it was all facilitated and possible thanks to AIP. Everyone is super professional, friendly, helpful, and organized, and I always felt safe and informed while abroad. All activities and excursions were fun and well-planned, and I couldn’t recommend this program more. Each step of the process was taken care of, so it was a significantly better experience than traveling and studying/interning abroad on my own. Shoutout to Herlyn and Tyler for being super awesome and helpful!!

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Yukhoe, or marinated raw beef, was probably my favorite and most unfamiliar South Korean dish. I came to love Yukhoe Bibimbap, which is raw beef and egg yolk over rice and veggies, with sesame oil and gochujang chili paste on top.

Love AIP!

Such an Amazing program! The staff were all so kind and supportive during my time with them. During my trip they helped me navigate the city, solve hotel issues, and find amazing spots around Seoul. I loved my company I was placed with through AIP, and truly felt I gained so much during my experience there as the job perfectly matched what I asked for. AIP made my experience abroad so much easier and less stressful, allowing me to focus on enjoying my days at work and time off. I really recommend this program for anyone planning to study abroad!!

Internship in Korea

My internship in Korea was only possible through AIP and their support. I was initially very nervous; 6 weeks was going to be the longest time I have been away from home and on my own. But through AIP’s support and preparation my internship here was an easy and amazing experience, and I would recommend this to anyone looking to gain experience whilst also travelling! I have gained so much independence and confidence, new friends and relationships that will always be with me, and seen some amazing sights that a couple of months ago I would’ve never imagined I would’ve seen. AIP made my internship a smooth and easy experience so that I could focus on enjoying myself, my work and my time in Korea.

What was your funniest moment?
All the fun moments I had with my coworkers whilst working!
Pros
  • Travelling whilst gaining experience
  • Gain independence

Internship in Korean Winter

Doing my internship during winter season was such a best timing as besides working, I experienced a whole new social environment and culture. The vibrant culture and modern transportation has captured my heart on my prior visits before my internship, hence why I wanted to work here.

My work experience was really helpful to my career aspects with cryptocurrency and international business development. My work was also flexible with WFH, which allowed me to explore local areas while working elsewhere.

What would you improve about this program?
The pricing of the program could do better, especially if the accomodation is below standards but still livable.

I suggest adding a diary or journal onto the program so that AIP can have a glimpse of their intern’s experience.
Pros
  • Accomodation and airport pickup included
  • Transparent and quick communications
  • Internship finding
Cons
  • Price
  • New environment

Seamless experience

Everyone at AIP has been fantastic and very helpful. All of my many questions have been quickly answered and I can definitely say they have gone out of their way to ensure my stay in Korea has been seamless and enjoyable.

I had catch up calls booked in which helped with any questions or problems I was experiencing. This was the first time on my own overseas and I was a little worried about how everything works go but to my surprise I felt very safe in Korea and my host organisation were welcoming.

The work they provided me was relevant to my study and I learnt not only about the company but how to deliver on a brief where I could see the end result.

Overall, the internship was valuable with interesting tasks and the bonus was I got to learn about a different culture while exploring the city locally.

The Time of My Life

Interning through Asia Internships Program in South Korea at a marketing company absolutely changed my life. I learned so much - not only about South Korea, marketing, and the language, but also about myself. I grew as a filmmaker, was able to experience countless adventures, met new friends, and am confident that I will want to pursue other avenues of life there. This was the first leap into life abroad, and I am grateful that AIP was there to support my dreams and help make an internship happen!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Through my job, I was able to collaborate with companies all of over the city, and even go to Busan. It allowed me to do things I never would have as a tourist, or even someone living full time in Seoul, and it was absolutely amazing. I tried Judo, glow in the dark ping pong, raw crab and eel, and had countless amazing memories. Thank you for everything!
Pros
  • You go where you want to
  • Tailored to your needs
  • Adventurous
Cons
  • Pushes you to your limits (not a con)
  • Expensive
