Program Reviews

AIP made the process of finding an internship in Seoul much more manageable. They connected me with a company that matched my interests and handled most of the logistics, which saved me a lot of time and effort. Their team was responsive, organized, and provided reliable support throughout the experience. While I still had to adjust to living in a new country on my own, having AIP’s guidance definitely made the transition smoother. Overall, they helped make my time in Seoul both productive and worthwhile.

My internship abroad experience in Seoul was very impactful in supporting my career and personal growth. Our program representatives showed consistent dedication to intern success and were always passionate about providing a safe and rewarding environment throughout the entire trip. Herlyn, Daisie, Tyler, and Nisha were amazing on-site representatives, always reliable and willing to help with any work-related, cultural, or personal needs that may arise while working in Seoul. This program was such a life changing experience and the AIP staff greatly contributed to my positive outlook on this program!

The Asia Internship Program completely changed my life. From the moment I landed in Korea, I was blown away by the level of support, care, and enthusiasm shown by the on-site supervisors. They were not just there to guide us professionally. They genuinely cared about our growth, happiness, and overall experience. Whether we were navigating our first day at the internship, adjusting to life in a new country, or looking for fun weekend activities, they were always present, approachable, and excited to help. Their energy was contagious and they created a positive, uplifting environment that made every challenge feel manageable and every success feel celebrated.

My internship placement exceeded all expectations. Thanks to Nisha, I was matched with a company that gave me meaningful responsibilities and trusted me with real projects that contributed to the team. I was able to grow both professionally and personally while building lasting relationships with coworkers and gaining insights into how business is conducted internationally. It was not just about building my resume. It was about discovering what I was capable of and gaining confidence in my ability to adapt and contribute in a completely new environment. Nisha was so helpful during this process as she was able to help me get multiple interviews and be well-prepared for them.

Outside of work, every week was filled with unforgettable moments including group dinners, cultural tours, city adventures, beach trips, hikes, and spontaneous late-night outings with friends from all over the world. I want to specifically mention Herlyn Jarder who went out of her way every week to text us to ensure we were all doing ok. She would often send out messages asking if anyone wanted to grab dinner to make sure we were never alone if we did not want to be. We explored Seoul’s vibrant neighborhoods, tasted local food, tried karaoke, visited ancient palaces, and soaked in the fast-paced energy of Korean life. Every moment felt like a new discovery and I never once felt alone or unsupported. The program fostered a tight-knit community that made it so easy to connect with others, share experiences, and create bonds that I know will last far beyond the summer.

Looking back, this experience gave me more than just career development. It helped me grow into a more confident, open-minded, and independent version of myself. I walked away not just with skills for the future but with memories and friendships I will never forget. I am so grateful to the Asia Internship Program and especially to the on-site supervisors who made this experience so meaningful, joyful, and smooth from start to finish. I truly cannot imagine my college journey without it. It was the best decision I have ever made.

10/10 would recommend. I had an amazing experience with AIP in South Korea. My AIP manager Seth Aung Winn was a big help, working with me remotely to secure my internship. He was very responsive and accommodating, finding me a company I was sure to love working for. On ground I got meet Herlyn Jarder, Nisha Shahi, Tyler Beauchamp, and Daisie Jeong. They were such amazing people, who were fun, personable, and just a great time to be around. Overall, I had a very enjoyable time working with AIP and I would highly recommend it.

AIP has been a great help throughout my entire program here in Seoul, South Korea. From helping us get interviews and assisting with our placement for our internships, which Nisha personally helped with, from giving us some recommendations on things to do around Seoul. The AIP members were always there for us to give us support and help us adjust. When I got to the airport, Nisha and Herlyn were there to pick me up and help me get to the hotel. Tyler gave us a tour of the local area and made sure to build connections with us to help make us feel more comfortable.

Without the AIP team here in Seoul, the adjustment to Seoul would've been a lot more difficult and daunting. This team was there for any questions and using the connections we've built, they would recommend some activities we could do, some of which I ended up doing.

I want to give a huge thanks to the AIP team here in South Korea for all their support and I recommend anyone who wants to intern in Asia to contact them!

I had an absolutely anmazing experience interning in Seoul, South Korea through AIP! Herlyn and Tyler, AIP team members on-site, made sure that we were comfortable and adjusted throughout the entire program, so I was able to enjoy myself and focus on exploring South Korea and my internship! If you want to get international internship experience, AIP is an awesome way to do it. It was such an easy process and I didn’t have to bother with any of the complicated logistics, AIP handled all the confusing stuff.

I had an incredible experience with AIP during my internship in South Korea. From the moment I arrived, the AIP team made the transition smooth and stress free. Tyler was especially helpful during the first few days, making sure I was comfortable and settled into the hotel. That kind of support made a big difference in helping me adjust quickly to a new environment.

The internship placement itself was well matched to my interests and goals. The AIP team was very open and communicative throughout the transition process, answering any questions I had early on and making sure I felt confident before starting. They also checked in regularly during the internship to make sure everything was going well and to offer support if needed, which I really appreciated.

Herlyn was always available and ready to help with any questions we had about our internship or life in Korea. She made sure everything was running properly and that we were getting the most out of our experience. Daisy also played a huge role in making this internship special. She showed us the most popular stops around the city, gave us great recommendations, and always brought positive energy to every excursion.

Both Herlyn and Daisy were not just helpful, but also really fun to be around during our group activities. They helped create a great community where we felt supported both professionally and socially. I am grateful for this opportunity and would absolutely recommend AIP to anyone interested in an international internship.

I am very happy to report about my experience with AIP. In addition to Ted Ko Ko helping with the internship placement and accommodating the needs of my university, the company was helpful in ensuring a smooth experience once I had made it on the ground. Herlyn, Daisie, Tyler, and Nisha were wonderful members of the staff that helped my cohort and I feel welcomed and supported throughout the duration of our stay. They were so genuinely kind and helpful and helped make my time in Korea one of the most life changing experiences I've ever had!

I learned a lot in Seoul at my internship at a tech startup. Herlyn, Dasie, Tyler, and Nisha are the goats and will help you every step of the way. They genuinely care about their students and want to help them succeed. They go the extra mile to help out and make sure everything is going fantastic. If you are thinking about going to Korea, do it. It was an unforgettable experience where I met so many people from all over the world. There is so much to see in Korea and this is for sure the best program to do it with!

I had an absolutely incredible experience with the Asia Internship Program (AIP), and I can’t thank the amazing staff enough—especially Nisha, Herlyn, and Tyler. From the very beginning, I felt fully supported and guided through every step of the internship and travel onboarding process. Moving to another country can be overwhelming, but the AIP team made it seamless and stress-free.

What stood out the most was how personal and caring the team was. Nisha, Herlyn, and Tyler didn’t just see me as another participant—they treated me like family. Anytime I felt lonely or uncertain in a new environment, they were there with encouraging messages, helpful advice, or just a check-in to see how I was doing. That level of care meant the world to me.

Thanks to AIP, I landed an amazing internship placement in Seoul that matched my career goals perfectly. I learned so much, gained valuable hands-on experience, and—most exciting of all—I was even offered a job position by the company! I never imagined things could go this well.

Beyond the internship, AIP also provided fantastic resources and opportunities to explore Seoul and the local industries. From networking events to cultural experiences, I was able to grow both personally and professionally while truly enjoying my time abroad.

I wholeheartedly recommend AIP to anyone considering an internship in Asia. With such a dedicated team behind you, it’s not just a program—it’s a life-changing journey.

Thank you again, AIP, Nisha, Herlyn, and Tyler—you helped make this one of the best chapters of my life!
