Asia Internship Program (AIP) Reviews

AIP ensured my transition into living and working in Bangkok ran smoothly. I was able to build valuable relationships and gain unforgettable experiences through AIP's services. If you are looking for the career opportunity of a lifetime, an internship abroad with AIP is worth every cent. I was beyond happy with my internship program and made friends and memories to last a lifetime. What a positive and eye-opening experience!

Through AIP, I interned in Bangkok during summer 2018. This is one of the best personal investments I’ve ever made. The internship matching was incredible, and they were able to place me in the exact type of company I had hoped for. AIP was also very supportive from the very beginning—from answering all of my pre-arrival email questions, to arranging events for me to meet other interns, to planning my final ride to the airport. Thank you AIP! I highly recommend this program.

AIP helped me have an absolutely incredible internship experience in Bangkok and Chiang Rai during the summer of 2018. With their services, I was able to settle into life in Thailand easily, and it was easy to focus on working, learning, and growing professionally and personally. Their staff was always there to help day or night, and they made moving around the world/getting acclimated simple. I would highly recommend AIP to anyone looking to intern abroad!!

Huge thank you to AIP and their staff for providing me with an experience of a life time. They always had events for me to attend but let me experience the culture of Thailand, and shape my experience to my preferences. Everything from the internship placements to the housing is great, but the people is what separates AIP from any other company I've interacted with. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

My lecturer told me that I would be able to do my internship abroad and I already knew it: I wanted to go to Asia. I wanted to live in Asia for a few months, because this culture is so different from my own and I wanted to experience that myself.

But since it is very difficult to find an internship in the field of architecture, and even harder to find one abroad, I needed a mediator. After spending some hours on Google, I decided to choose for Asia Internship Program. My main reason for choosing this company is that they provide customized internships in many countries in Asia. It was hard for me to choose one specific country, but I decided to choose Indonesia because I like the sea and I’m only on a small budget. I don’t have any regrets.

I liked my time there. It was very nice to explore the different islands of Indonesia in my free time, the food was delicious and all people were very kind to me as a foreigner. AIP found me a great company with a funny personal supervisor who trained, monitored and guided me throughout my internship. This supervisor had been working in architecture for 10 years so he was very experienced and his English was incredible for an Indonesian person.

If someone asks me if I would recommend AIP for finding you an internship, I won’t hesitate to give them a big ‘YES’. They helped me at all times, from arranging my visa, to finding accommodation, to giving me assistance 24/7. Many thanks to them for giving me the best
period abroad in my life!

3 months of great experience and joy in Japan in financial industry was just a dream that suddenly came true with help and guidance of Asia Internship Program. Since I was a kid, I was a big fan of Japanese culture, such as anime and manga, and I gave myself a promise that will visit Japan, Tokyo specifically. During my studies in my University I was introduced by the career hub in my University that there is a program (Asia Internship Program) that can assist me with arrangement of my internship in Japan, with reasonable price. Without any hesitation I visit a website of the program where I found a lot of testimonials and detailed information of internship experience. By following a very simple process, I got interviewed by two companies. Unfortunately the first company I got an interview with, didn’t match my expectation, so I explained my concerns to AIP staff and they arranged second interview shortly with exactly the company of my choice. The visa process was supported and guided by AIP as well, so takes me way faster than if I would do it myself, without any additional fees. Overall I managed to combine pleasure of being in Japan and experience the country’s culture, as well as gaining practical knowledge and experience in multinational finance institution. I am extremely glad that my University introduced me to Asia Internship Program and really grateful to AIP staff that helped me to find exact expectation of my internship and experience in Japan.

I had a few things I wanted to do during my holiday, do an internship, Travel, Try new food.
So I decided to apply for international internship programs, I wanted to do an internship related to my schooling and was given so many choices and couldn’t decide what country I wanted to do my internship in. I was very interested in two destinations Japan and South Korea. It came down to a flip of a coin.

South Korea was my destination for my escape for the holiday. I landed in Korea and was shocked by how colorful everything was. The people really understood how to express themselves by the cloths they wear. I now understand why Korea is the street wear capital of the world.

The Food was a downer for me, I didn’t enjoy most of the food around. But here are some of the things I would recommend, Galbi, Soondubu Stew, Haemul Pajeon and Korean BBQ.

My internship lasted for 3 months and I’ve had bad days and great days, the biggest problem for me was the language barrier and ordering food was a difficult challenge at the start. But the people I was working with during my internship helped me and assisted me through out my stay there. I learned a lot during my time in Seoul and I’m planning to go back there when I graduate.

Side note: I actually go to NUIG but that option wan't available to select. when leaving his review.

If I could give this company an 11/10 out of ten I would! AIP did their homework on the most pragmatic way to find students or people in general internships in Asia. They work based on your wants and not the company's. That's what I think separates them from other companies. I had the pleasure of interning with a law firm that they recommended me for. Not only was the company just what I needed, AIP was too. Outside of work, they are more inclusive than you would think. From intern bike rides, to networking events, to domestic trips, the list goes on and on. I would not think of any other company than AIP. Any questions, feel free to ask!

The best experience I made in my life as a student: choosing for Asia Internship Program! I have literally been searching FOR WEEKS and could't find anything, because it is really hard for me as an engineer-in-progress to find a place anywhere. I knew I really wanted to do an internship in Indonesia, but didn’t know where to start at all.

And then I found the website of AIP. They offer three different packages in Indonesia: placement, standard and signature. I chose the standard package because that included accommodation and networking events as well. AIP helped me really well and offered me assistance in everything I wanted. They replied so fast and I really liked the person I was in contact with.

The only ‘negative’ thing was the Skype meeting. I needed to do a Skype meeting for my application with AIP, in which I would talk to a staff member about my wishes and needs. But unfortunately, this meeting was delayed by ten minutes and also the network connection didn’t work too well. But that’s really the only ‘negative’ I can think of. The rest of the process was basically perfect for me.

And the internship itself: it was so so so great! I could say that it was one of the best experiences in my life. The company was very informal, it felt like home, and I made so many friends within the company, but also on networking events and in my student flat!

Thank you, AIP, for making this possible!

I spent two months doing a marketing internship in Seoul (South-Korea) and it was one of the best times of my life. I never went to Asia before, but I wanted to experience the culture there, since I heard it to be so different and peaceful compared to the Italian culture. It was also my first time doing a full-time job for 40 hours a week and that was quite tiring I must say. My main goals were getting to know the Asian culture, working in the ‘real business world’ and improving my English. I think I succeeded on that.

I made a great choice choosing for Asia Internship Program as they assisted me very well by obtaining an internship placement which completely suited my wishes and furnished accommodation. During the first week of my internship, I was already working on challenging marketing projects such as writing new marketing plans, which was exactly what I wanted. AIP found the perfect spot for me and I am really grateful for that. They were always there for me.
