Internship in South Korea by Asia Internship Program

My experience with the Asia Internship Program was nothing short of incredible, and I truly cannot say enough good things about it. From the very beginning, AIP was organized, professional, and attentive to what I was looking for in an internship. What really made the experience stand out was Herlyn. She was absolutely amazing. So kind, responsive, and genuinely supportive at every step. Whether it was helping me navigate paperwork, checking in throughout the internship, or simply being a reassuring presence, Herlyn consistently went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly and that I felt confident and prepared.

Thanks to her and the AIP team, I was placed in an internship that I absolutely loved and felt completely fulfilled by. It was the perfect fit, both professionally and personally. I’ve already started telling friends and classmates about AIP because I genuinely believe it is one of the best opportunities out there for anyone looking to gain international experience and grow in their field. I’m so grateful for the opportunity and all the care and effort AIP puts into making it such a meaningful program.

Herlyn, Daisie, Nisha, and Tyler helped me during my program and constantly supported me. I was also helped by Ted, who was able to connect me with the best internship ever. I had an incredible time in Seoul and was given true freedom to explore while learning about the corporate culture of Korea. My friends and I could enjoy everything in Seoul together, and we could share different experiences from our internships, which made it all the more fun. We were also to learn so much about the culture and language it was incredible.

AIP made the process of finding an internship in Seoul much more manageable. They connected me with a company that matched my interests and handled most of the logistics, which saved me a lot of time and effort. Their team was responsive, organized, and provided reliable support throughout the experience. While I still had to adjust to living in a new country on my own, having AIP’s guidance definitely made the transition smoother. Overall, they helped make my time in Seoul both productive and worthwhile.

My internship abroad experience in Seoul was very impactful in supporting my career and personal growth. Our program representatives showed consistent dedication to intern success and were always passionate about providing a safe and rewarding environment throughout the entire trip. Herlyn, Daisie, Tyler, and Nisha were amazing on-site representatives, always reliable and willing to help with any work-related, cultural, or personal needs that may arise while working in Seoul. This program was such a life changing experience and the AIP staff greatly contributed to my positive outlook on this program!

The Asia Internship Program completely changed my life. From the moment I landed in Korea, I was blown away by the level of support, care, and enthusiasm shown by the on-site supervisors. They were not just there to guide us professionally. They genuinely cared about our growth, happiness, and overall experience. Whether we were navigating our first day at the internship, adjusting to life in a new country, or looking for fun weekend activities, they were always present, approachable, and excited to help. Their energy was contagious and they created a positive, uplifting environment that made every challenge feel manageable and every success feel celebrated.

My internship placement exceeded all expectations. Thanks to Nisha, I was matched with a company that gave me meaningful responsibilities and trusted me with real projects that contributed to the team. I was able to grow both professionally and personally while building lasting relationships with coworkers and gaining insights into how business is conducted internationally. It was not just about building my resume. It was about discovering what I was capable of and gaining confidence in my ability to adapt and contribute in a completely new environment. Nisha was so helpful during this process as she was able to help me get multiple interviews and be well-prepared for them.

Outside of work, every week was filled with unforgettable moments including group dinners, cultural tours, city adventures, beach trips, hikes, and spontaneous late-night outings with friends from all over the world. I want to specifically mention Herlyn Jarder who went out of her way every week to text us to ensure we were all doing ok. She would often send out messages asking if anyone wanted to grab dinner to make sure we were never alone if we did not want to be. We explored Seoul’s vibrant neighborhoods, tasted local food, tried karaoke, visited ancient palaces, and soaked in the fast-paced energy of Korean life. Every moment felt like a new discovery and I never once felt alone or unsupported. The program fostered a tight-knit community that made it so easy to connect with others, share experiences, and create bonds that I know will last far beyond the summer.

Looking back, this experience gave me more than just career development. It helped me grow into a more confident, open-minded, and independent version of myself. I walked away not just with skills for the future but with memories and friendships I will never forget. I am so grateful to the Asia Internship Program and especially to the on-site supervisors who made this experience so meaningful, joyful, and smooth from start to finish. I truly cannot imagine my college journey without it. It was the best decision I have ever made.

10/10 would recommend. I had an amazing experience with AIP in South Korea. My AIP manager Seth Aung Winn was a big help, working with me remotely to secure my internship. He was very responsive and accommodating, finding me a company I was sure to love working for. On ground I got meet Herlyn Jarder, Nisha Shahi, Tyler Beauchamp, and Daisie Jeong. They were such amazing people, who were fun, personable, and just a great time to be around. Overall, I had a very enjoyable time working with AIP and I would highly recommend it.

AIP has been a great help throughout my entire program here in Seoul, South Korea. From helping us get interviews and assisting with our placement for our internships, which Nisha personally helped with, from giving us some recommendations on things to do around Seoul. The AIP members were always there for us to give us support and help us adjust. When I got to the airport, Nisha and Herlyn were there to pick me up and help me get to the hotel. Tyler gave us a tour of the local area and made sure to build connections with us to help make us feel more comfortable.

Without the AIP team here in Seoul, the adjustment to Seoul would've been a lot more difficult and daunting. This team was there for any questions and using the connections we've built, they would recommend some activities we could do, some of which I ended up doing.

I want to give a huge thanks to the AIP team here in South Korea for all their support and I recommend anyone who wants to intern in Asia to contact them!

I had an absolutely anmazing experience interning in Seoul, South Korea through AIP!
