Asia Internship Program (AIP) Reviews

AIP provided invaluable guidance throughout the entire process, from identifying the perfect internship opportunity to offering comprehensive support for my relocation to Taiwan. Their expertise in overseas placements made the transition seamless, allowing me to focus on maximizing my learning and contributions.

If you're looking for an organization that genuinely cares about your growth and provides unparalleled support for overseas internship opportunities, look no further than AIP. They are truly instrumental in helping students gain global experience and accelerate their careers.

I was assigned to work with AIP after my internship plans fell through. Within a few weeks they had my first interview lined up, and within 2 months, I was placed with my company. I was challenged both academically and personally (adjusting to the cultural differences) at my new company and was able to grow significantly thanks to that experience. The company that I worked with has set the bar very high for what to expect in the labor market. The accommodation AIP arranged was wonderful and I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Thank you!

Made my internship in Thailand so incredibly seamless! I love that I did not have to sacrifice a semester of instruction, and AIP allowed me to have a summer abroad experience! Loved it, and 100% recommend the service to students interested in enriching living/working abroad experiences!

The AIP staff guided me through the internship selection process, visa application, located my housing, and more, to make it the most pain-free onboarding. I especially loved that their support did not end once I arrived in Bangkok. In fact, there were my first point of contact when I wanted to know about fun events, restaurant recommendations, etc.

I was so happy with my internship experience that I decided to extend my programme for other 6 months! I'm deeply satisfied with my job, I wanted to try something different and more creative than what I was doing in Italy and I feel that I've found my place. My teamleader and my colleague are really nice and supportive and they have always made me feel welcomed and part of the company.

I'm really thankful to AIP as well because they have always supported me a lot not only at the beginning when searching for a hosting company but even for all the 6 months that I've spent in Seoul. Luckily everything went smoothly, but when I needed their help they were quick in finding a solution to my problem. Moreover, they kept cheking on me periodically. Highly recommended!

I think that an internship abroad is a great opportunity of growth, both professional and personal. During this experience I was lucky to find a lot of new great friends with whom sharing amazing memories and discovering new places. Seoul is definitely full of fun activities to do, it has a special spot in my heart!

AIP helped me secure a 10-week internship in Taiwan, which was an amazing experience from sourcing companies based on our expertise to managing interviews and guiding us in the job application process. They really eased the load of having to source jobs overseas. It was an amazing experience! The support they provided throughout—from pre-departure preparation to checking in during the internship—made me feel well taken care of. I gained real-world experience, met new people, and learned so much about working in a different culture. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity and would recommend AIP to anyone looking to intern abroad with confidence and ease.

I’m glad I decided to go on this overseas internship, even though it was my first time living abroad. Beyond gaining valuable work experience, I managed to explore the city on my own and experience things I had never had before. While there were struggles and moments of homesickness, I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything and I’d choose to do it all over again.

If you’re unsure whether or not to take up an overseas internship, just go for it. I gained so much more than work experience. I learned to be independent, overcame communication barriers and found ways to enjoy the journey even in the face of challenges.

I am thankful that my school had collaborated with AIP! I took the chance to try an overseas summer internship in Bangkok and it was truly amazing. I interned in a company that has a really amazing mission of connecting people with the overlooked historical and cultural parts of Bangkok, while supporting local communities, which all syncs with my interests. I learnt a lot from them. Do check out the Roots Routes' tours and support local! All of these would not have been possible without the help of AIP and their team. Nisha and Kate has been really accommodating, always checking up on me, and replying to any questions fast too. I had an opportunity to meet and talk to the the CEO of AIP too. I could really tell that he is passionate about helping people find internships, to seek opportunities in this big world and develop experiences regardless of where they are at in their career. It's been such a great journey doing this internship with AIP and the Roots Routes. Recommend!

As this was my first time both traveling and doing an internship abroad, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience — and AIP was an incredible support system throughout the entire journey!

At first, the process of securing an international internship felt intimidating and overwhelming. Especially as a freshmen in college. But from the very beginning, AIP made everything feel simple and manageable.

I want to give a huge thank you to Herlyn, who guided me every step of the way. She was always available to answer my questions, kept me informed, and made sure I felt confident throughout the process. Even after I arrived in Korea, Herlyn continued to check in on me and ensured I was settling in comfortably. I even got the chance to meet her in person, and she was just as kind and helpful as she had been virtually.

Thanks to AIP this entire experience has been smooth, exciting, and incredibly rewarding. I’m so grateful for their support in making this internship abroad such a positive and unforgettable adventure~

Highly recommend giving them a chance!

My internship experience with AIP was everything I hoped for—and more! I had a very specific goal in mind: a 2-month marketing internship in Taiwan. AIP not only delivered exactly what I was looking for, but also made the entire experience seamless from start to finish. The application process was clear and well-structured, and the support I received along the way, from pre-departure guidance to on-the-ground check-ins, made me feel confident and prepared every step of the way.

The internship placement itself was a great fit, and I was able to grow both personally and professionally while gaining hands-on experience in an international work environment. I also had the chance to explore an amazing new culture and meet people from around the world. If you're thinking about doing an internship abroad, especially in Asia, I can't recommend AIP enough. Their team truly goes above and beyond to help you succeed.

My experience with the Asia Internship Program had many high points, particularly through the company I was matched with. I was placed in a company that aligned with my interests and allowed me to grow through hands-on work in a supportive and communicative team. The location was convenient, and I felt genuinely cared for during my time there.

AIP provided some strong support, specifically through their on-the-ground community team, who was responsive and helpful. Their platform was easy to navigate, and they found comfortable housing, which made the transition smoother. The availability of 24/7 support provided some peace of mind during the transition abroad.

That said, for me, a challenge was pre-departure communication. At times, I felt I had to chase information just to stay on track, and it wasn’t always clear what stage I was in or what was expected of me. Having a lack of information that ensured security created unnecessary stress before the internship began.

During the internship, I would have appreciated more consistent community engagement, such as biweekly events or cultural outings to help interns connect with each other and their host country. While events were occasionally mentioned, there weren’t consistent opportunities organized for interns to connect, and much of the social interaction had to be self-organized.

To AIP’s credit, I did feel they genuinely cared about my experience and responded when feedback was given. With clearer communication and more structured community-building, AIP could greatly enhance an already valuable program.
