3 Amazing Months in S.Korea!

April 08, 2025by: Jennifer Cruz - Puerto RicoProgram: Internship in Korea - Asia Internship Program
10

Finding an internship in a foreign country can be so difficult. However, I stumbled AIP and they seemed promising. I'm glad I decided to give it a shot, as they were able to help me out so I could go to South Korea and intern there, which is something I've always wanted. I think it would've been much harder by myself, so them having connections to different companies was just what I needed. I definitely recommend them if you feel like it may be hard to find an internship by yourself. They are very friendly and nice and will do their best to help you out and get you placed! :)

Grateful for an incredible journey with AIP

My internship experience in Thailand with AIP was truly exceptional. From day one, the entire process was smooth and well-structured, making it easy to settle in and focus on personal and professional growth. The AIP team was always approachable, supportive, and eager to help, which made me feel welcome and valued. What I appreciated most was the sense of community — connecting with other interns and AIP members made the experience even more rewarding. I’m incredibly thankful for this opportunity and would highly recommend AIP to anyone seeking an unforgettable internship experience.

AIP is a complete nightmare!

This company is a complete nightmare! They cost me thousands! I have just returned from a 6 week internship in Bangkok with this company. From start to finish, I was provided with no support. Once you pay this company, they don’t bother with you at all! I feel they are a scam! Airport pick-up means that they book you a taxi, who you need to get into contact with to meet you. There is nobody there on arrival to settle you in. I was under the impression that I would be living with other interns. This is not the case. The accommodation I had payed for was a hostel, down an alleyway. I was greeted at the ‘reception’ of the hostel by a group of men, all interested in where I was from, and how long I was staying. Although I appreciate the culture is different (I am British), and I stand out in an Asian country, this made me feel uncomfortable. I was followed up to my room by two of the men, who watched me type the code to my room. I don’t blame AIP for this situation, however the way they handled it was appalling. I sent multiple messages to my mentors, clearly upset, they were slow to respond, and didn’t seem to care (yet they were actively responding on the group chat with other interns). I did not feel safe at all staying in this accommodation, and so I left. They didn’t once offer to help me find another place to stay, in fact they didn’t even ask me where I was staying, the whole 6 weeks. They are not ‘there to look out for you’. I was given $200 refund for the hostel, which was a fraction of what I had payed them to provide me with accommodation. I then had to pay for 6 weeks in a hotel out of my own pocket. This company cost me thousands! On a positive note, the company I was interning for were amazing! The owner had told me that the previous intern had similar issues with AIP, and had also complained about them. My internship company toured me round other hotels, and also tried to reach out to AIP on my behalf, they outdid themselves with kindness, and turned my 6 weeks into an amazing experience. But having been told by my boss that the previous intern also had big issues with AIP, I really think my negative experience was not just an anomaly. They promise group dinners and activities. I was there for 6 weeks, and didn’t meet a single other intern. I was once given the contact to another intern and told to contact them myself. I was only taken out for dinner once (on my third day there) with my ‘mentors’, after writing a formal email comparing about the lack of support I had been given. I also never got a response from anybody about the email I sent whilst I was out there. I don’t have a single positive thing to say about AIP. My time in Bangkok turned out to be a great experience, and I would highly recommend interning abroad, but do not do it through AIP!

What inspired you to travel abroad?

There are many entrepreneurial possibilities. If you have an idea you can always share it and at AIP they will truly listen to you. I also like the casual atmosphere; I’ve done a couple of different internships and they had very tight atmospheres. Asia Internship Programme really welcomes people to express themselves freely and generate new ideas.
