AIP Japan

Had a great experience overall. I got to work on a lot of different projects that helped me learn and build new skills. Outside of work, I explored Tokyo, experienced the culture, and met some great people. If I had one suggestion, it’d be to have more events where interns can get to know each other. Overall, it was a really fun and memorable experience. I also appreciated having the chance to step outside my comfort zone and experience daily life in another country. It helped me become more independent, more adaptable, and gave me a better perspective both personally and professionally. I’m really glad I had the opportunity to be part of this experience.

Best Trip Ever!

Amazing experience, I could not have asked for a better provider to guide me through this journey! Nisha and Tyler were the best as they helped me navigate my first couple days here and made it much easier for me. they also placed me in a very good company where I was able to learn so much in addition to my internship. The Home I was staying in was very comfortable and very accessible to the city and I am very grateful that this was the location that was selected for me. Overall, it was a great experience, and I could not have asked for anything better!

Internship in Valencia

AIP has been such a pleasure to work with this summer. They have given me a once in a life time opportunity that has gone above and beyond my expectations. The team works incredibly hard to not only place you in the best internship possible, but continue to communicate, check in and solve any problems you have during your time abroad. Nisha was very pleasant to work with and always made sure my needs were accounted for. And having Tyler with us in the beginning allowed for a smooth transition and he made sure we knew that he was available if we needed any help. The two of them are incredibly hard workers and made this experience unforgettable. I have no complaints, housing was in a great location, I couldn't have asked for a better internship and the professionalism was amazing. The biggest problem I had, and I think it’s just a Spanish thing. But having a bedroom with no Air Conditioning for 2 months is not for the weary. But overall it was perfect and worth every penny

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Take time to visit the countries around you. You will never know when you will have another opportunity to be in Europe or Asia for this amount of time again. Your bosses (for the most part) are very understanding and will allow you to make up the time you miss if you take a Friday off. They want you to experience as well. At least spend two weekend exploring somewhere you have never been before. Flights are cheaper and travel time is minimal!
Pros
  • Wonderful Internship with Amazing coworkers
  • Delicious affordable food
  • A city life like no other. Every day you walk around town it doesn’t feel real. And the culture of the night life is amazing
What other participants should know
  • No air conditioning
  • Impossible to make money there
  • No air conditioning X2

Summer in Valencia, Spain

Thanks to AIP, I had the opportunity to participate in an amazing internship in Valencia, Spain.

I was able to learn, meet many new people, and experience life in a completely different country.

The AIP team, enabled by GO Overseas, was amazing, especially Nisha and Tyler, who were consistently reliable points of contact. At all times I felt that they genuinely cared about my experience and wellbeing.

Thank you for this amazing experience, I would highly recommend this to anyone on the fence about traveling. If you are unsure. DO IT!!!

Great Experience

Good experince with AIP, had a wonderful overseas internship experience at Thailand. Staff was helpful and accomodating. Prompt responses and helpful, especially with my special requests. Highlight of the trip was being able to hang out with people from other countries. There was also many company trips which I thought was a very fun experience. I have always wanted to come to Thailand and experience the culture, and I think it was an eventful experience to be able to have this opportunity. Thank you for the support.

Student Intern

Incredibly unique and personalized experience, jobs tailored to who you are and what you wish to accomplish. My experience was a blend of in person and remote work giving me the flexibility to explore as an expat, while gaining working and communication skills. Team was highly communicative and professional throughout process, and ground team was extremely helpful and hands-on in getting us interns acclimated to our new environment. Always responding on time and always ready to assist. Could not recommend more!

Good trip

Had a lot of fun abroad. I met a lot of really cool people and saw a bunch of amazing places. I think that if there was a critique to be made, it would be the uncertainty in placement until a very very late date (just two or three weeks before departure) of confirmation in host company. There’s also the factor that AIP isn’t able to guarantee a super relevant placement; my friends doing more niche majors in this program are doing more unrelated work than more general, streamlined majors. Overall really fun though.

AIP Experience

My internship in Bangkok through AIP was an incredible experience, and I’m very grateful for everything the team did to make it possible.

From the beginning, the AIP staff were friendly, responsive, and always willing to answer questions throughout the placement process. Moving to a new countrywas intimidating, but having a local team available made a huge difference. They organized a welcome event where I met other interns before starting work, which was a great way to build connections and feel comfortable in a new environment.

Living and working in Bangkok was an unforgettable experience. Beyond gaining valuable professional experience during my internship, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in Thai culture, meet people from around the world, and explore the city. The experience helped me grow both professionally and personally, giving me greater confidence, independence, and a broader global perspective.

One thing I appreciated most about AIP was knowing there was always someone I could reach out to if I needed help. Fortunately, my internship went very smoothly, so I rarely needed additional support, but having that local network gave me peace of mind throughout my stay. I would highly recommend AIP to any student interested in completing an international internship.

Great time in Spain!

Deciding to do an internship through AIP was easily one of the best moves I’ve made. The team made the whole process super simple and stepped in to guide me every step of the way.
AIP matched me with a role that aligned directly with my academic background and long-term career goals, rather than just placing me in a generic position.
Beyond the valuable hands-on professional experience, living and working in Asia completely broadened my worldview and built my cross-cultural communication skills.

Great experience!

Thanks to AIP, I did a 2 month internship in Spain. As someone who was nervous about living in a foreign country by myself, AIP made me overcome this fear with ease. Nisha and Tyler were very helpful with the placement process and making sure everything ran smoothly. The AIP staff was all super friendly and helpful. AIP is very organized and you are guaranteed an internship if you choose to work with them. 10/10 and I 100% recommend doing AIP if you’re looking to intern abroad. Great experience, great people, and great company.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
The lifestyle in Spain is very relaxed compared to the USA.
