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!

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!

Safe in the land of smiles!

AIP has done so much for me that I don't even know where to begin. I've always wanted to travel to Thailand seeing that I've never had exposure to their culture before and just hearing travel stories from my friends made me even more interested in the country. Ever since I was born, I always considered myself as an efficient person. I like to complete my tasks and goals as fast as I could. So I thought, why not travel to Thailand for both a vacation and an internship, hitting two birds with one stone. I applied to AIP and started my internship journey with them. The respectable thing about AIP is that they didn't only help me find an internship that could boost my professional experience, but they also advised me on places to go and visit so that I can experience the culture all around. Because of this, I've had the opportunity to visit many places and capture memories that will surely never be forgotten. It's insane that its been a while since this particular experience but I remember it like it was yesterday. Really grateful for everything and I'm looking to apply to AIP again when I choose to go to Indonesia next!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Much like myself, hit two birds with one stone! Try to be efficient in life and you'll be sure to experience a lot.

My crazy experience in South Korea

South Korea was a crazy experience all together. From doing a 2 week quarantine period to completing my internship during a pandemic. It seemed at first that things were falling apart but it honestly started to pick up piece by piece. The quarantine period was actually not so bad as the people there were very helpful and friendly. Going on to my internship, I felt very welcomed. My supervisor and colleagues made sure I was felt at home and guided me through all the tasks they gave me. I'm happy I took this internship with AIP as well as they were very straightforward and non-confusing. Everything felt like a straight road and that's what I'm most grateful for.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
Having a positive mindset goes a long way into having an amazing experience abroad.

Taking a chance on remote!

I was given the opportunity from AIP to partake in a remote internship when it felt like everything was falling apart. As I'm in my last semester of my university, I was desperately in need for an internship and with the on-going pandemic, I didn't I would be able to find one so soon. Thankfully enough, I came across AIP and they assisted me all throughout to find me not only an internship that would give me a great experience, but also new friends that I've met through my 3 month internship. The experience was obviously different to my past internships but it was something new that I feel like can take over in the near future. I'm grateful for the experience!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Doing my final presentation before concluding my internship was pretty nerve-racking.
