Definitely a great time!

Despite the ongoing global pandemic, I was lucky enough to find an internship with the help of AIP. AIP was very helpful in finding me an amazing business development internship. It felt surreal at first because a lot of friends were struggling in finding an internship but stumbling upon AIP was great. I even had the chance to share the experience with a couple of my friends and they're looking to join AIP as well.

I learnt a lot not just about my field or industry, but also about how to collaborate and form meaningful relationships with my colleagues. Thank you AIP!

Great experience with remote!

I've already experienced internships prior to this one and was looking to bolster my CV with some more valuable experience. However, amidst this pandemic it was hard to find on site internships. This is where AIP came to the rescue. It was definitely a different experience. I have only previously been exposed to on site internships. Obviously online internships aren't the same experience and you aren't able to be exposed as much as you would had it been on site, however, AIP was able to make the most of this and still gave me an unforgettable experience. Overall, it was an awesome experience and would highly recommended to others!

2019 in South Korea

I had my internship experience with AIP back in Summer of 2019 and I still remember everything to this day. Seeing the situation, I'm very glad I had my experience before COVID existed. I was able to do things that I wanted to like travel or even walk the streets without being judged for not wearing a mask. I must imagine that it's difficult for interns at this time to intern in Korea. Nonetheless, AIP did an amazing job with how they handled my case from top to bottom. They checked every list to make me feel safe and happy. Will be entirely grateful for the work of AIP.

What would you improve about this program?
At the time my application kept going to different people and it was really confusing at first, but everything was handled properly and I'm very appreciative of it.

Happiest time of my life!

It has been nearly 3 months since my internship experience in Korea and I still think about the wonderful time I had there everyday. I have never been outside the US and coming into Asia for the first time was hard to deal with. The language may be the biggest obstacle that I had to run through because it seemed like no one spoke any English at all. It was obviously different from my host company where everyone can speak English but it was still hard going to restaurants or even traveling around. Nonetheless, I still had an amazing time in the country and I will surely be coming back with other friends of mine to introduce them to a beautiful culture!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
I'd say to come with a friend at least so that you won't feel lonely. The first couple of weeks were tough and I wish that I had someone beside me the whole time.

The best option right now!

I finished my degree 2 months ago and have been wanting to do an internship. I am so glad that I found AIP, especially in these hard times because I was able to do remote internship and it was such a good experience!

AIP absolutely did an amazing job! They found a company suited with my interest, they were always responsive whenever I had questions, and I will definitely use AIP's service again when the situation is better so I can do another internship in a country next! Everyone else should do the same!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I had a lot of things in my plate like school work so time management was something I had to learn.

Perfect time for remote internships

Now is honestly the time for students like me to look into remote internships and the value that it gives! As an introvert, this experience was really great for me because I had the freedom to complete my tasks in my free will and I didn't have to go into the office physically. I obviously had the chance to meet new people online, but that was pretty much the boundaries. AIP was really great in finding my a fantastic company as well. I'm pretty I got to learn a lot that I could bring with me in the future. As this is a marketing internship, I have decided to do freelancing for my host company even after my internship is done and I'm really grateful for it. Look for remote internships now!

What would you improve about this program?
I wish I had the choice to choose a country of preference despite this being a remote internship, but nonetheless I had a great experience overall!

Great for its value!

I originally intended to do a signature package and then I realized we're in COVID. So unfortunately the country that I was supposed to go to, Japan, was closed so I had no choice but do a remote internship to complete my credits. I was initially hesitant to use AIP because I've had a bad experience before and so I was really hesitant even though AIP had really good reviews and branding. Anyways, I made my application because there was no obligation to anything so I thought, why not. I scheduled my interview with Emmanuel Mission, and my trust immediately increased after speaking to him as he was very relatable. The experience seemed so skeptical in the beginning but I've grown into doing remote work and I am pleased with it. I actually had the chance to speak to a couple of my colleagues and I can confidentially say that I made a few friends. I'm glad I took the opportunity with AIP.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Going through a remote internship instead of traveling to my preferred destination was pretty nerve wrecking.

One of the bucket list!

For the longest time, I've always wanted to go to South Korea for either work experience or just as a vacation. Couple of months ago I had the opportunity to do an internship in South Korea from AIP with another friend of mine. It was truly an amazing and unforgettable experience. I can really myself settling here in South Korea but that is obviously a story for another time. Before doing this internship, I looked through different internship programs and immediately stuck with AIP and I'm glad I did. They were very helpful to me and made sure that I was happy all throughout the internship and my stay in South Korea. I'm glad I've taken this opportunity.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
It would be great to bring a friend along with you so that you won't feel lonely in a foreign country.

Working online!

I would like to thank AIP for presenting me this remote internship opportunity. I initially chose to go to Thailand for an internship but because of the pandemic, all my plans of traveling this year went away. Luckily enough, my point of contact at AIP recommended me to do a remote internship and at first, it seems so skeptical and a waste of time but after going through it all, I'm thankful I went through with it. The experience itself was knowledgeable and I definitely learned a lot from this. My bosses and colleagues were very friendly to me and I even ended up getting close to a couple of my colleagues. Again, I'm just thankful and for those who are students right now, take this chance!

What would you improve about this program?
One thing AIP can definitely improve is having a more specific detail of the remote internship. I was very scared to go through it in the beginning because of the details provided at their website. More information would've definitely get me sold as well as others.

Great traveling experience!

I actually finished my internship last year before all traveling experience for everyone fell apart, so I'm very grateful for a fruitful experience that I had in Vietnam. I've been around Asia before so this was not a culture shock experience for me which made this trip so much more fun. Though, I want to thank AIP for giving me this experience! I went through with other internship providers before and AIP is definitely up there as one of the best that I've joined. I'm looking to do more internships with other providers to give my reviews on them so that you all can be prepared!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
The amount of motorcycles Vietnamese people own! I've pretty sure each house owns at least 3 motorcycles of their own. Really weird but cool!
