Smooth Sailing

My experience as an intern in South Korea would not have gone as smoothly and perfectly as it did had it not been for the support of Herlyn and everyone from AIP. Herlyn organised it all. From airport pick-up, to accomodation, to assigning me the most suitable internship organisation, I did not have to worry about a thing. As a result, this l meant that I could focus on my internship and exploring the country. I created unforgettable memories and cannot thank AIP enough for this wonderful opportunity :)

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
If I did this all over again, I would probably manage my time better. There was so much to explore that it was a shame that I did not have enough time to see everything.
Pros
  • Convenience
  • Subway
  • Lots of walking & stairs
Cons
  • Lots of walking & stairs
  • More conservative society

Memorable Internship

AIP was very helpful with my transition to South Korea. I would have struggled a bit without them as they helped me with the accommodation, airport pickup, my sim card, and public transport card. AIP assisted me whenever I needed to contact them but their response time would be 1-2 days, which is understandable since there were other students that needed to be taken care of. I personally wish AIP would reply within a day in case of assistance or emergencies. But overall, I had a terrific experience with the help of AIP and I wouldn't be able to do much without them. I recommend AIP for those wanting to travel abroad and be an intern in a country you wish to try.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Just be yourself and have fun experiencing the journey, you only do it once so make the most of it and continue the ride.

Internship/Adventure

My internship in Vietnam was like a big adventure! I got to dive into the world of marketing in a country full of energy and color. Every day was different and exciting. I worked in Ho Chi Minh City, where life never seemed to slow down. My job wasn't just sitting in an office; it was about exploring the city, meeting new people, and learning as much as I could. One of the coolest things was working with a startup trying to change how people get their food delivered. We brainstormed ideas, made plans, and saw our ideas come to life. It was amazing to see how passionate and determined Vietnamese entrepreneurs are. Thank you AIP team for making this possible.

Countryside experience in Thailand

My internship experience in Thailand, facilitated by AIP (Asia Internship Program), truly exceeded my expectations. Throughout my internship, I had the privilege of working alongside dedicated professionals and researchers who shared a common passion for protecting Thailand's natural heritage. Whether conducting biodiversity surveys in Khao Yai National Park or collaborating with local communities on sustainable agriculture initiatives, each project was a testament to the collective commitment to environmental stewardship.
To be honest, I was just expecting on working in an office doing paperwork but my host company made sure that I am also able to do field work which for me is such a privilege. My account manager also worked hard to find me a company that matched what I wanted to do and I am very grateful.

Aspiring Robotics Intern

I just finished my 5 month robotics internship in Japan and it was one of a kind. Professionally, my internship provided me with an invaluable glimpse into the world of Japanese work culture. The emphasis on precision, attention to detail, and strong work ethic was evident in every task I undertook. Collaborating with my Japanese colleagues taught me the importance of teamwork and effective communication, even across language barriers. Big thanks to Asia Internship Program for believing in me and my skills.

Fantastic Experience

My time in Bangkok Thailand was truly magical. The work I did at my intern company was fulfilling and I love how dynamic the city of bangkok is. Big shout out to AIP for helping me to secure this internship. Without their help, I would not get this opportunity to intern overseas. Also it was nice to have a point of contact for all your questions while being overseas. During my time in Bangkok, AIP was responsive to my questions and queries. They even helped with my visa extension and also organised a meetup for us to network with the other interns!

Best decision ever

Going to Seoul with AIP was the best decision I’ve made so far! The company I’ve worked at was the best and had the kindest people! They immediately took me in with a lot of love and support, despite my Korean not being the best! And knowing that someone from AIP was always available to contact if I should have any troubles was so assuring to know! Big thanks to Herlyn especially for that!!! I felt safe the whole time through and made so many new friends during my time abroad! 100% would recommend :)

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
I went to Gwangjang Market with a friend and ate chicken feet at the same food stand that Gordon Ramsay ate!!!
Pros
  • So many things to do and discover
  • People are very friendly
  • Eating out is so cheap
Cons
  • Might miss friends and family at home
  • Fresh fruit and veggies v expensive
  • Language barriers if you can’t speak Korean

Take me back

I completed a 4-month, in-person internship in New Zealand, and the experience was truly fantastic on both professional and social fronts. My host company was excellent, encouraging me to reach my full potential, and the entire team, along with the other interns made the trip incredibly enjoyable. Exploring a new city with like-minded individuals added to the excitement. I highly recommend this experience, and if I weren't currently seeking a graduate job, I would undoubtedly repeat it. Thank you AIP, despite the delays, you guys were able to find solutions.

Topnotch service

If you're contemplating whether to pursue an internship in Indonesia, I strongly encourage you to go for it! This proved to be an extraordinary experience, and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity last summer.

Throughout the internship, AIP's support remained consistent. In the end, my AIP experience was more than just an internship—it was a chapter of personal and professional growth. Honestly, the most rewarding aspect of the program is the individuals you encounter. I had the pleasure of meeting numerous outstanding individuals and forming friendships with people from various corners of the globe.

Memorable experience

I'm deeply satisfied and honoured to be given the chance to participate in AIP's Internship Programme in Bangkok. It was really a pleasure and smooth ride from start to finish. The staff of AIP have been the most helpful and kind, guiding me through each step along my journey. They were responsive and gave me the guidance I needed. I was also matched to a very good start-up company which I am highly satisfied and happy to be working in for the past 4 weeks. Overall, a very memorable experience for me.
