Great program!

I had an absolutely anmazing experience interning in Seoul, South Korea through AIP! Herlyn and Tyler, AIP team members on-site, made sure that we were comfortable and adjusted throughout the entire program, so I was able to enjoy myself and focus on exploring South Korea and my internship! If you want to get international internship experience, AIP is an awesome way to do it. It was such an easy process and I didn’t have to bother with any of the complicated logistics, AIP handled all the confusing stuff.

AIP In South Korea

I had an incredible experience with AIP during my internship in South Korea. From the moment I arrived, the AIP team made the transition smooth and stress free. Tyler was especially helpful during the first few days, making sure I was comfortable and settled into the hotel. That kind of support made a big difference in helping me adjust quickly to a new environment.

The internship placement itself was well matched to my interests and goals. The AIP team was very open and communicative throughout the transition process, answering any questions I had early on and making sure I felt confident before starting. They also checked in regularly during the internship to make sure everything was going well and to offer support if needed, which I really appreciated.

Herlyn was always available and ready to help with any questions we had about our internship or life in Korea. She made sure everything was running properly and that we were getting the most out of our experience. Daisy also played a huge role in making this internship special. She showed us the most popular stops around the city, gave us great recommendations, and always brought positive energy to every excursion.

Both Herlyn and Daisy were not just helpful, but also really fun to be around during our group activities. They helped create a great community where we felt supported both professionally and socially. I am grateful for this opportunity and would absolutely recommend AIP to anyone interested in an international internship.

An Amazing Experience!

I am very happy to report about my experience with AIP. In addition to Ted Ko Ko helping with the internship placement and accommodating the needs of my university, the company was helpful in ensuring a smooth experience once I had made it on the ground. Herlyn, Daisie, Tyler, and Nisha were wonderful members of the staff that helped my cohort and I feel welcomed and supported throughout the duration of our stay. They were so genuinely kind and helpful and helped make my time in Korea one of the most life changing experiences I've ever had!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
My best advice would be to do everything! Take advantage of every opportunity and be willing to push yourself and explore! AIP and the amazing team members on the ground like Daisie and Herlyn do a lot to open up experiences and opportunities for interns in this program both on and off the clock so don't let them pass you by! In addition, I would say to plan a little bit and pack as much into your time here as you can. Korea is a wonderful place with tons of amazing places to go, so being willing to try new things and be active will make the experience here that much better.

Go to Seoul!

I learned a lot in Seoul at my internship at a tech startup. Herlyn, Dasie, Tyler, and Nisha are the goats and will help you every step of the way. They genuinely care about their students and want to help them succeed. They go the extra mile to help out and make sure everything is going fantastic. If you are thinking about going to Korea, do it. It was an unforgettable experience where I met so many people from all over the world. There is so much to see in Korea and this is for sure the best program to do it with!

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?

Amazing Program!!

I had an absolutely incredible experience with the Asia Internship Program (AIP), and I can’t thank the amazing staff enough—especially Nisha, Herlyn, and Tyler. From the very beginning, I felt fully supported and guided through every step of the internship and travel onboarding process. Moving to another country can be overwhelming, but the AIP team made it seamless and stress-free.

What stood out the most was how personal and caring the team was. Nisha, Herlyn, and Tyler didn’t just see me as another participant—they treated me like family. Anytime I felt lonely or uncertain in a new environment, they were there with encouraging messages, helpful advice, or just a check-in to see how I was doing. That level of care meant the world to me.

Thanks to AIP, I landed an amazing internship placement in Seoul that matched my career goals perfectly. I learned so much, gained valuable hands-on experience, and—most exciting of all—I was even offered a job position by the company! I never imagined things could go this well.

Beyond the internship, AIP also provided fantastic resources and opportunities to explore Seoul and the local industries. From networking events to cultural experiences, I was able to grow both personally and professionally while truly enjoying my time abroad.

I wholeheartedly recommend AIP to anyone considering an internship in Asia. With such a dedicated team behind you, it’s not just a program—it’s a life-changing journey.

Thank you again, AIP, Nisha, Herlyn, and Tyler—you helped make this one of the best chapters of my life!

Korea experience

AIP organized my study abroad internship trip to Korea, and I had such a good experience! Nisha was very helpful in helping me interview with Korean companies and helped me troubleshoot when things didn’t go as expected. Herlyn was also very helpful in getting us settled into our accommodations, internship role and the country in general. I had such a good experience working with the team directly and experiencing the cultural excursions that they helped set up such as going to the palace and wearing traditional hanbok.

I love AIP!

AIP was exceptional in helping me secure an internship this summer in Seoul! The representatives at Asia Internship Program were so supportive in placing me at a consulting company and helping me find the exact position I wanted. When I was in the middle of recruiting, my representative, Seth, was very attentive and adaptable in every situation. I am very pleased about and thankful for my work experience because of AIP.

Asia Internship Program also provided great ground support during my stay in South Korea. Herlyn, Tyler, and Nisha were all so helpful in setting up the cohort in the city and could always be relied on. They helped us feel comfortable in the area we were staying in and were here to answer any questions we had during our six-week experience.

Thank you so much to AIP for everything they have done for me! I couldn’t have asked for a better team or program.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?

thank you AIP

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.

AIP Love!

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.

South Korea Internship

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!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
As part of my university’s program, we had planned excursions every weekend. One of the excursions was to the DMZ, where we were able to see into North Korea and learn more about the history of some of the areas that we could see.
