Internship in South Korea by Asia Internship Program

My university partnered with AIP for an intern abroad program in Seoul, South Korea. I worked with Seth Aung Winn from AIP for my internship placement, who was hard working and dedicated to finding the best company for me to intern with that aligned with my major and career goals. For the in-country portion of the program, Herlyn Jarder, Daisie Jeong, Tyler Beauchamp, Nisha Shashi were there to assist us. They took us on a local tour of our hotel area, provided us with tips and tricks on transportation, where to buy certain products, and always offered to be a buddy for any meals. They also helped in booking cultural/leisure/business excursions for us every weekend so that we can immerse ourselves into the country while we aren't interning or in our program's class, and attended these with us. A few of these included Nami Island, Alpaca World, Gyeongbokgung, Pangyo Techno Valley, and more. Herlyn and Daisie stayed with us for the entire duration of the program, and were great mentors to be with. They have offered to take our cohort members out to dinner a few times and would regularly hang out with many of the members. Overall, they have been such wonderful people to work with and have made being abroad so much fun and less stressful. I definitely recommend choosing AIP for your internship abroad!

My experience with the Asia Internship Program (AIP) was incredible. From start to finish, the team made the process smooth, engaging, and genuinely life-changing. I want to give a special shoutout to Herlyn, Nisha, and Tyler — they went above and beyond to support me throughout the internship. Whether it was helping me navigate my placement, organizing immersive cultural activities like baseball games and food outings, or just being there to answer any questions, they made the whole journey way more than just “work experience.”

The program struck a great balance between professional development and cultural exposure. I got valuable insight into my field, worked in a fast-paced environment, and built strong connections, all while having fun and exploring Korea.

Big thank you to the AIP team. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to grow, explore, and have a damn good time doing it.

The internship itself was a fantastic experience—engaging, meaningful, and honestly just really cool. I gained valuable professional insight, met great people, and explored a new country, all with the reassurance that AIP had my back the whole way.

My experience with AIP has been amazing! From the moment I got here Tyler, Herlyn, Nisha, and Daisie have been nothing but helpful and kind. I travelled to Seoul, South Korea from the USA and was nervous about adjusting to Korea. AIP smoothed this transition for me and I totally will be using AIP again in the future! The internship I was matched with was my dream internship at a law firm and it made the overall experience even better. Travel with AIP! The AIP staff members are truly the best and are amazing to be with!

Highly recommend. Participating in the Asia Internship Program (AIP) in Seoul was an incredibly rewarding and transformative experience. The program offers a well-structured, personalized internship placement process tailored to each participant’s career goals.

AIP also provided excellent support with housing, orientation, and networking events, helping me build both professional and personal connections. Living and working in Seoul gave me valuable insight into the fast-paced, innovative environment of one of Asia’s leading cities. I highly recommend AIP to anyone looking to grow professionally while experiencing life abroad.

I highly recommend AIP to anyone looking to step out of their comfort zone and grow globally!

AIP was truly helpful in helping me adjust to South Korean culture and in understanding my needs when it came to internship matching. I want to give a special shoutout to Herlyn, Nisha, and Tyler for guiding the University of Florida cohort during our time in South Korea. The team I had the pleasure of working with was not only supportive but genuinely caring. They made sure we felt safe, heard, and prepared, making my experience abroad smooth, enriching, and unforgettable. Their response times to test or emergency was near to immediate and relatively quick which I appreciated.
