Promote remote!

At first I was a bit skeptical when I was introduced to a remote internship. Due to the pandemic and the travel restrictions, I was left with 2 options; sit at home doing nothing or give a remote internship a try. I can confidently say that I was very mistaken. Although on-site work is always better, the amount I learned during my internship was immense. Funnily enough it was my interviewer at AIP who convinced me to give remote a shot. He made the experience very smooth and much more enjoyable! Highly recommended to use AIP for anyone out there looking for quality internships

Definitely one to look at!

I'm glad I went through with a remote internship even though I was more interested in traveling to South Korea or Japan last summer. In the midst of a global pandemic, I was looking for ways to travel comfortably but I always arrived at a dead end. From dealing with visas to getting COVID tests, everything seemed complicated and was definitely something I did not want to go through. However, I stumbled across AIP and got introduced to doing a remote internship. It was interesting but skeptical at the same time, but I thought, what could go wrong? I went with it and it immediately changed my mindset about remote-type of work. I can definitely see this taking over as it is more efficient than traveling and commuting to work. I'm glad I went through with it and I recommend others to give it a try.

Surprisingly brilliant!

With the rapid technological development in the recent years, it became clear that at a certain point a lot of professions will be unchained from the location factor. 2020 has boosted such trend by making remote job/internships the only possible solution, even for those who has been doubting its efficiency. I'm glad that my experience with AIP proved to me that such a style of work can be an efficient aspect to society. To those still in doubt, take a leap of faith and get out of your comfort zone.

South Korea never fails to amaze me

It's been my 4th time in Korea and this country really never fails to amaze it. Even in the midst of the pandemic, the beauty of this country excels even further. What made this experience even better is that I was able to share having a professional and leisure time in this country. On top of that, my colleagues were kind enough to bring me around places that I have not been before, showing me the hidden gems of Seoul. It's honestly thanks to AIP for the opportunity and I would not have done this without them!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Take a chance on things that seem skeptical to you! You never know what you'll come across in this day in age.

Great remote internship!

I did my remote internship with AIP a couple of months ago and the company that I worked with was wonderful. They taught me what there is to know about the finance industry and how to work professionally. Obviously there are differences to working from home and working in an actual office but my team made it seem professional enough for me to enjoy the experience. Because of this experience, I'm looking to join my team for a full time position in Singapore and I'll take the opportunity when the pandemic slowly dies down. I can't take AIP enough for starting up my career.

Beautifully inside and out

10 years! It was 10 years since I've been back in Japan and it looks even better than before. I first came here with my family and I instantly fell in love with the place. Every aspect of Japan when it comes to the culture, food, art just screams beauty. I already knew that this was the place that I want to end up in the future and I would like to thank AIP for making it come true. Not only did they find me an internship here in Japan, but they also found the right company for me to work with in the future. I still keep in touch with my colleagues and supervisor and are already in the discussion of a potential full time position. Things couldn't have been more clear to me and I have AIP to thank.

Huge commendation to AIP!

It almost seems like it was yesterday when I felt like I was stuck in a dead end. I was looking for an internship in Australia as I'm studying here and I didn't have any luck trying to find something in the field that I'm looking for. So I took a safer an somewhat expensive route and that was approaching an internship service like AIP to help me. Without question, the experience was great and straightforward. You definitely get what you pay for. AIP found me a company within weeks of being accepted into the program which allowed me to start as soon as possible. Since the pandemic was slowly dying down, it was good knowing that I could have a feel of a professional environment. Couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity and I would recommend this program to others looking for an internship as soon as possible.

Messy at first, amazing at last

Ever since I accepted an internship offer from one of the partner companies of AIP, things started to get messy in terms of the visa. Although I had all the documents in place, getting through the immigration was little tough because of all the questions asked by the officer. Things like this can get messy for me because I don't respond well to officers and it just makes me panic. Nonetheless, I was able to get through and finish my 14 day quarantine successfully and did my internship altogether. The internship experience itself was amazing and I couldn't ask for a better team to work with. I am still in touch with them to this day and I actually do some side work for them. I'm glad that things worked well and for those applying to AIP to intern in Korea, just be aware that the visa situation can be a bit tough so make sure that you have all documents in place and that your point of contact at AIP is always up-to-date with your own situation.

Problems solved at home

I did my remote internship months ago through the help of AIP and I must say, I'm pretty impressed with the value they provide considering I was stuck in a hole for months due to the global pandemic. I learned a lot about business development and I appreciate everything my colleagues taught me. If there was one thing that I was surprised about, it was that I made friends with my point of contact with AIP. They were very helpful and I'm still in touch with their community manager till this day. I'm looking forward to doing another internship with them.

My amazing time in Thailand!

I must say that things were clicking for me last year despite the pandemic as I was able to travel to my dream country and tick off another on my bucket list. I applied to AIP last year and obviously chose Thailand as my destination. The help I got from my point of contact of AIP was very helpful and made sure that I was satisfied al throughout. There were some ups and downs but they were cleared up quickly and smoothly. My time in Thailand was amazing and being able to go there during the pandemic almost seemed impossible. Luckily enough I got through it and now I'm back home. There's nothing more I would've asked for!
