Incredible

Going abroad alone is challenging, and working there makes it even more difficult. So, having the confidence that someone has your back and is helping you with all the significant details to make your internship a better experience is invaluable.

Of course not everything is about work on the internship, so I got the opportunity to travel and meet new people, eat new dishes, and get to know an incredible culture

Thank you so much, Nisha, Kate, and Herlyn, for making this experience more manageable.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
travel more around Thailand

Remote AIP program

As a gap year student who just completed high school, I recently completed a remote internship through the Asia Internship Program (AIP), and it was a great experience. My agent, Jeff, was incredibly supportive, helping me secure a placement that aligned with my interests and career goals. The process was easy and seamless from the application to the placement. Despite being remote, the internship offered valuable opportunities to develop skills that I know will prove useful in future endeavors. AIP’s personalized approach and excellent support make it an ideal choice for anyone seeking professional growth or an opportunity to explore your interests. Highly recommended!

AIP Singapore Program

This was an overall great experience both professionally and personally, I was able to work in a corporate finance role for an interesting fintech business in Singapore and network with other finance professionals in the country, while having enough time to see the sights and enjoy the city’s culture, nightlife, and food. AIP’s staff were friendly and helpful in organising the program. The accomodation was safe and the location was decent, but it wasn’t anything fancy. However, I was here with four other students from my university, which made it even more enjoyable. I’d recommend this program to other students looking to build their resume and explore a new country while they’re doing it.

A highly recommended experience

I can wholeheartedly say that the three months I spent in Thailand were some of the most exciting and enriching that I’ve ever had. To anybody on the fence about going - just do it. You will be placed with a company tailored towards your studies and interests, and the personal development you will gain from challenging yourself will prove invaluable both professionally and personally.

If you have the time, I recommend that you stay for 3 months. This will give you enough time to learn a lot, experience daily life in Bangkok and as well give you some time to travel around Thailand and even the neighbouring countries.

Internship in Seoul

AIP helped me to secure a 3 months internship in Seoul, South Korea and it has been a wonderful experience. As a university student wanting to pursue an internship abroad, AIP was the best option for practicality and to save precious time. My accommodation was clean and well located. Moving in was straight forward. The staff (Evie, Kate and Herlyn) were very helpful and accessible along the way. They made sure that I had everything I needed and checked up on me from time to time. Highly recommend !

South Korea Internship

Overall, I had a great experience both with AIP and the country itself. Before coming to Korea, all of the people at the agency were supportive and they constantly kept in touch with me. The accommodation was clean and it was located fairly close to the office. I felt very welcomed at the company, everyone was friendly and I always was treated respectfully.
South Korea as a whole was a very nice country. People were respectful, the transportation was cheap and efficient, and the food was tasty.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Manta ray beak.
People rarely eat it in Korea, but it's still a dish they serve in some restaurants. While stinky, it wasn't that bad as a whole flavor-wise.
Pros
  • Efficient transportation system
  • Safe streets
  • Tasty food
What other participants should know
  • People cough and sneeze without covering their mouths
  • Weather can be either super warm or very cold
  • Seoul can be a bit expensive

A complete lifechanger!

The whole experience was great, from the beginning, the AIP staff was very helpful, they were very attentive and supportive pre-departure and already in Japan. The company in which I did my internship was great, they were seeking a professional with my exact profile so we matched very soon, moreover, I learned many things not only about the Japanese culture but about the job tasks I was doing, all the knowledge acquired has helped me back into my college. Furthermore, I recently signed a full-time job contract with the company due to my performance in the internship, so I totally recommend it!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The cultural shock you experience at the beginning is huge. Almost everything is different, so you begin feeling that pressure. Nevertheless, to overcome it, you just have to accept it and open your mind to all those new things. Once you have done that, you begin to enjoy it and grow enormously. It is a complete life-changer.
Pros
  • Great good.
  • You learn something new everyday.
  • There is always something to do or discover.
What other participants should know
  • It is not easy if you expect to do not work hard.
  • You will walk much.
  • The pressure at the beginning is much, but it is mostly something made up by your mind.

Learning on another level

My experience with AIP was great. The staff is very friendly and approachable. They booked my accommodation with great location with local food point and one of the top attractions in Bangkok. They helped me with my internship placement with an inclusive and creative company where I could enjoy learning experiences. I had the opportunity to learn new skills including communication, teamwork, networking, collaboration, planning and project execution. AIP was always there for to support me. I highly recommend AIP for overseas internships.

Internship in South Korea

I really enjoy and think that it was worth it deciding to do the internship with AIP through the University program. The staff from AIP, the workplace, CEO and my colleagues everyone are very helpful and always answer my questions when I needed. It was incredible that I have a chance to learn new cultures, try new food and especially I was so lucky to have a very kind CEO and colleagues who bought me a lot of food and drink during the time. They also bought me a tour in their city so I have a chance to spend time with my colleagues.

What was your funniest moment?
When I have a chance travelling around Goyang city not just in Seoul
Pros
  • Improve skills
  • Build up resume
  • Learning cultures and languages
What other participants should know
  • Not have many chance to travel around
  • No chance to meet up with other interns

Bangkok, Thailand 2024 Summer Internship

Interns in Asia helped me secure an internship in Bangkok, and I couldn't have been more thrilled with the experience! From the moment I applied, their team was incredibly supportive and efficient in finding the perfect placement that matched my interests and career goals.

Being in Bangkok was a dream come true. The city's vibrant atmosphere, rich culture, and endless opportunities for professional growth made every day exciting. My internship not only allowed me to apply my skills in a real-world setting but also provided invaluable insights into the local business environment.

Interns in Asia didn't just connect me with an internship; they provided continuous support throughout my journey, ensuring I had the resources and guidance I needed to thrive. I met amazing people, expanded my professional network, and gained a deeper appreciation for Thai culture.

Overall, my experience with Interns in Asia was beyond fulfilling. I highly recommend their program to anyone looking to broaden their horizons and gain hands-on experience in an exciting global city like Bangkok. Thank you, Interns in Asia, for an unforgettable internship adventure

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would make sure to find an apartment closer to my work place and is near a lively environment to meet new people and make friends!
