Program Reviews

Interning in South Korea with AIP was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. From the very start, Jeff Oo took the time to understand what I was looking for and helped me find a placement that truly matched my goals and interests. He made the whole process feel easy and personal.

Once I arrived in Seoul, Herlyn, Nisha, and Tyler made everything even better. They were there for us in every moment, making sure we felt comfortable, supported, and safe. It really felt like having a team that genuinely cared about us, not just as interns, but as people.

This was my first time doing something like this, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. AIP made it all possible and I’ll always be thankful for that. If you’re thinking about interning abroad, I truly recommend going with them.

I genuinely love AIP. This has hands down been the best internship program I’ve come across. The entire team is incredibly kind and thoughtful, and I’m so grateful for how supportive they’ve been throughout the process. I want to extend a huge thank you to both Herlyn and Seth for matching me with such a great internship site. A special shoutout to Herlyn. She’s been with me and my cohort every step of the way during our six weeks in Seoul, and her warmth and energy have truly made this experience even more meaningful. If I had the chance to do it all over again, I absolutely would.

I had an amazing experience with my study abroad time in South Korea with AIP’s internship program. Jeff Oo was the one responsible for my placement, and he made sure to take into account the industries that I was interested in and the type of role I wanted to fulfill when finding my internship. After coming to Korea, Herlyn Jarder, Nisha Shahi, and Daisie Jeong all greeted us at the airport and helped us with transportation to our hotel. From the start, all of the AIP staff have been extremely helpful and friendly. Although Nisha and another staff, Tyler Beauchamp, could only stay with our program for the first couple of weeks, we could really feel comfortable and open with any of the staff here. Having the AIP staff around during this trip has felt like having a reliable friend that will do their best to help when you’re in need. I’ve had some of the best times of my life during this trip and I genuinely recommend doing it with AIP if you can!

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 Asian Internship Program (AIP) was incredibly helpful in guiding me through my internship experience in South Korea. From the moment I arrived, Herlyn and Tyler provided consistent support, helping me navigate cultural differences, adjust to a new work environment, and make the most of my time abroad. Their check-ins and genuine care made a big difference, especially as this was my first time working internationally. 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.

The support system they provide is unmatched—from orientation to career guidance, cultural excursions, and even simple day-to-day check-ins.

If you’re considering an international internship, I highly recommend AIP. This program opened up so many new opportunities for me and gave me the confidence to grow both as a student and a future professional. Thank you again to the entire AIP team!

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. In Seoul, I was placed in a dynamic company that matched my field of interest, allowing me to gain hands-on experience while learning about Korean work culture. 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 had an incredible experience with AIP, who helped me secure a marketing internship opportunity in South Korea. The team was supportive, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure I had a successful placement.

I’m especially grateful for the guidance and support of Seth, Herlyn, Nisha, Daisie, and Tyler. Each of these individuals played a valuable role in helping me navigate the process and settle into my role (and life in South Korea) with confidence. Their responsiveness, encouragement, and deep understanding of both cultural and professional expectations made all the difference.

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