Program Reviews

Really glad to have had the opportunity to visit South Korea to pursue an internship and to explore the beauty of the country. At first I was skeptical to even try AIP to help find me an internship but with so many reviews online, I had to try it. I must say that exceeded my expectation. The process itself was very straight-forward and my point of contact was very kind and helpful to help get through a lot of the complications I experienced. All the way leading to my arrival in South Korea, everything went smoothly.

As for my internship in South Korea, I'm glad to have a team that was so open to me. I learned a lot during my time there and I still keep in touch with them.

Huge thanks to AIP for the help and thank you Korea for the love!

When the pandemic started becoming a major problem, I certainly thought I wouldn’t be able to experience an internship and have nothing to show for on my resume. I am a third-year university student and having an internship is important at this point. Thanks to AIP, all my worries went away. I noticed on their website that they offered remote internships. At first, I admit that I was hesitant and thought that I probably won’t get much from it, but I was so wrong. I got placed at company in Thailand to do business development, and even though I’m all the way here in the United States, I felt as though I was really part of their team. They taught me so much and exposed me to real life work that would definitely look good on my resume and help me advance in my field. I feel like I really made the most out of my 3 months doing remote internships despite the pandemic situation. I am super thankful to the team at AIP for being so helpful throughout the whole process and making this possible for me!

If someone would tell me that the remote internship will be extremely helpful and I will be able to gain a lot of experience, I would’ve laughed and not believe a word of it. However, due to the pandemic outbreak that happened in 2020 it became not just a norm, but more of a mandatory requirement for future employment overall. My experience with the asia internship program was very good and I am grateful for the help from their end. At the beginning of my application, I was applying for a face-to-face internship in Singapore and everything went well. First, my coordinator scheduled interviews with companies and my placement has been confirmed quite fast and smoothly. The company where my internship placement got confirmed was very friendly and I got all excited about going to Singapore when the COVID19 regulations became less strict. Unfortunately, the 3rd wave has happened, and it was devastating news for me since everything was going so far so good and crashed in a moment. At this point I want to say a big thank you to AIP and my coordinator on how he handled the situation. So once it became clear I was no longer able to travel to Singapore and conduct my internship in person there were two obvious options to completely withdraw from the program or postpone the start date. Since I had to go back to university in 3 months, the postponement would mean waiting a year and withdrawal would mean there will be nothing for me to do during these 3 months. Finally I’ve decided to withdraw from the program and informed AIP about it, and at this point AIP offered me a remote internship program with the same company on a discount. My first thought was quite hesitant because remote work has never been associated in my mind with “real work”, however, I’ve decided to give it a try since alternatives were not attractive at all. Here are my takeaways from it: remote internships are no longer remote internships as you would expect them to be a few years back. The system of communication, operations and collaboration have been developed drastically. All of my colleagues, those who were full time and present in Singapore were working from home as well. Distance work also helped me in developing self discipline. To sum up, I would say that my internship may not have given me cultural and travelling experiences, but I have no regrets in doing it since the amount of skills and practical knowledge I’ve gained is outstanding and in current circumstances that is what I would recommend.

I have visited South Korea before but the experiences I had were those of a tourist. I got to experiences all the things that any tourist would get. But with this internship at AIP, my view of Korea was totally different and my perception of a lot of things changed because of it. My internship in Korea taught me a lot and it opened my eyes to a different side of the country I had never experienced before. This time, I was in the country as a true traveler and I took this opportunity to learn more about the culture, while still improving my professional skills. I would do it again!

If you are hesitant on whether you should go to South Korea for an internship, don’t be! Because it was one of the best choices I had made for my future career. It was definitely a challenging experience going to a new country by myself but I gained a lot of new culture experiences and work experiences that has now helped boost up my resume.

I am grateful that I found AIP to help me with my internship and I recommend them highly because they made the process easier for me! They answered all concerns that I had which made me experience more memorable!

Thailand is a beautiful country. It was my first time visiting the country and it was the best decision I ever made. I would definitely visit again just so that I could experience the beautiful culture. Having my internship in Thailand was also rewarding. I was able to improve my skills and apply them in real life situations. Now I am able to go back to my home country and apply all the knowledge that I have learned during this time. I definitely recommend these internship programs with AIP one hundred percent!

While the internship was all online, it did not take away from my experience overall. I was able to form a lot of new connections, I learned many new skills and I know for a fact that I can apply these skills in my future career, especially with the way the world is right now. These skills are valuable and will aid me in my field of interest. I was skeptical of remote internships in the beginning. But because of how advanced technology is now, the experience I had was not negative at all. I definitely recommend this!

The country is just so beautiful! From the food to the people, everything was so majestic. I have never had an internship experience that encompassed so many factors and meet all my expectations. South Korea really is incredible and I am happy I decided to go there because if I didn't, I would not have been able to learn more about its culture and its history. I felt like this internship opened up my eyes to a side of the world I wouldn't have explored if I didn't apply to AIP. I am grateful for the experience and I know it will last with me for a long time.

Thailand is such an amazing country. The people are so kind and welcoming. Even though I was in a foreign country, I felt very at home in Thailand. I learned a lot from the people and their diverse culture. I also gained a lot of knowledge and improved my skills during the internship in Thailand. I was able to explore different facets of the industry and learn a lot!

This experience gave me a lot. I was able to improve my professional skills and expand my networking circle. I highly recommend AIP!

South Korea was amazing. I learned a lot about the culture and the people. It really opened my mind to a diverse had the best time of my life. I learned a lot during my internship. It was very rewarding and I am sure all the skills I learned during this time will be very useful to me in my future career. I will never forget this as it taught me a lot about my life and it put my professional career into perspective. I would definitely recommend this program to those looking for an internship abroad.
