South Korea experience 10/10

My experience with AIP exceeded expectations. Everything ran smoothly, and they walked me through every step of the process, helping me secure a great internship that matched my goals. My main communication was with Kate, who was extremely supportive and efficient. When I had issues with my first accommodation, she quickly resolved it and arranged a new one that suited me perfectly. Communication was always quick and professional, and the team at AIP was kind, patient, and genuinely dedicated to helping me succeed.

Internship experience with AIP

The internship experience in Taiwan was extremely fulfilling and rewarding- AIP has provided us with great opportunities in terms of the selection and variety of companies for the internship. Even though the duration of the internship was relatively short (only 5 weeks), the learning was very efficient felt that I had learned a lot from the job. The colleagues were also very patient and friendly with us, and would not hesitate to guide us along or impart new knowledge to us. I have absolutely no regrets about joining this program.

This was an amazing experience

Amazing experience with AIP! The meet up with the other students interning in Taiwan made the experience that much better! I want to thank nisha, roro, herlyn and the other AIP staff that made my overseas internship so fun and fuss-free! They arranged everything making it such a smooth and fuss free experience for me. When I applied, it was during my exam period which was a stressful time for me. But in the end AIP took care of everything and I went straight to Taiwan after my exams. I only had to book air tickets! Thanks for the amazing experience.

Great experience

Very friendly and helpful staff. It was a great internship experience arranged by them. I learned a lot of things outside of my school curriculum which really helpful for my future work and I appreciate all the help and support given to me by them.

In this internship experience, I also met a bunch of new people and learned important communication and social skills that are transferrable to future internships or work.

Overall, I think this was a wonderful experience and I would recommend trying it out!

1-Month Internship in Taiwan

Secured a 1-month internship in Taiwan under the AIP programme. Staff was very friendly and helpful in referring suitable companies and preparing me for the trip. Remaining in contact with AIP staff was relatively easy and process was smooth. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience in Taiwan all thanks to AIP. I recommend this programme to anybody who is looking for extensive personal growth and a change of environment. There are ample opportunities to learn and travel depending on the place of your stay.

Great opportunity!

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience working in Bangkok! Thanks to AIP’s incredible support, I was able to secure a 5-week internship in Bangkok. From start to finish, the process was seamless.

They were always available to answer questions, provide insights, and made sure everything went smoothly. Highly recommend AIP for anyone looking to experience an international internship!

Great Cultural Experience

My internship program was extremely smooth and well planned with the help of the AIP team Nisha, Roro, Kate, and Herlyn. They are helpful and responsive, and I had a great time in Taiwan thanks to their support and recommendations. They also arranged a welcome dinner for the students to meet which was very fun. During my internship, I got to attend events that the company organised and met people from all walks of life. I also experienced the authentic Taiwanese life for 5 weeks, getting to try all the delicious food and visit the beautiful mountains and heritage sites.

Bangkok Internship

Had a great time in Bangkok with this internship opportunity. I learned so much from my company and most importantly got to explore the city and experience the local lifestyle for a month. I got to experience what is like living like a local in Thailand, an experience I would otherwise not be able to have if not for this opportunity. Trying out local cuisines and attending new year celebrations was definitely a blast. I would highly recommend this opportunity for someone who wants to have an experience of what it is like to work overseas!

Thank you for this amazing opportunity!

Pros
