Asia Internship Program

AIP provided excellent support throughout my internship experience in Hong Kong. From the beginning, the process was organized, clear, and much less stressful because the team was available to answer questions and provide guidance. Moving to another country for an internship can feel overwhelming, especially when you are balancing travel arrangements, housing, workplace expectations, and adapting to a new city, but AIP made the transition much easier. The communication was one of the strongest parts of the experience. I always felt that I had a clear point of contact if I needed help or had a question. The team was responsive, professional, and supportive throughout the program. They helped make sure I understood what to expect before arriving and continued to provide support while I was in Hong Kong. That gave me confidence and allowed me to focus more on learning from the internship itself. The placement gave me a valuable opportunity to experience a professional workplace in an international environment. I was able to develop practical skills, improve my confidence, and gain a better understanding of how professional work is done outside of the classroom. Living and working in Hong Kong was also a meaningful part of the experience. It pushed me to become more independent, adapt to a different environment, and learn how to navigate daily life in a fast-paced global city. I also appreciated that the program was not only about completing an internship. It gave me the chance to grow personally as well as professionally. I learned how to communicate in a workplace, manage responsibilities, work with different people, and become more comfortable in unfamiliar situations. Those are skills that will be useful in future internships, university, and my career. Overall, I am very grateful for the opportunity and for the support AIP provided throughout the process. The experience was well organized, worthwhile, and memorable. I would recommend AIP to students who are looking for an overseas internship and want the support of a team that is helpful, professional, and committed to making the experience run smoothly

I spent 2 months abroad in Taipei, Taiwan through AIP, and it was a really positive experience! I had some issues with my original internship placement, but my team was incredibly responsive! I really appreciate Jeff, Roro, and Nisha’s support and help throughout the process. With their help and flexibility, I was placed with another company very quickly. The transition process was fast and smooth, and I couldn't be more happy with my internship. Moreover, my living accommodations through AIP were excellent. I was close to transportation and the neighborhood was very peaceful. I'm extremely grateful to the AIP team for their help.

My internship abroad was an experience I will always remember. Living and working in Bangkok gave me the opportunity to step outside my comfort zone, experience a different environment, and learn how to adapt to a new workplace and culture. During my internship, I gained valuable hands-on experience in IT and had the chance to work on different tasks and projects, which helped me improve both my technical and problem-solving skills. I also learned a lot from the people I worked with and enjoyed getting to know a new team. Outside of work, living abroad helped me become more independent and confident. There were definitely some challenges along the way, but they made the experience even more meaningful. Overall, I am very grateful for this opportunity and the memories, skills, and friendships I gained throughout my time abroad.

My experience with AIP has been great! I received support from the AIP representatives throughout my internship. The company I worked for was very accommodating and offered me a role where I could contribute very meaningfully! I couldn't have asked for better coworkers, they supported me along with Nisha, my AIP coordinator.

I had a great time here in Taiwan with the internship from AIP. Everyone was very kind and the food was good here. I learned a lot from my host company and would highly recommend this program to my peers 10/10 experience for sure.

I'm very thankful for AIP's assistance in securing my internship in Seoul, South Korea (8 weeks). What really makes AIP wonderful is the on ground support they provided. I was able to get in touch with my support persons 24/7 when I had an emergency! Having the extra support when finding and completing and internship abroad was invaluable!

My stay in Japan for three months over the summer was super fun. I was able to learn a lot from my internship while also being able to explore Japan for all that it has to offer. My apartment was in convenient places located near Shibuya and Shinjuku.

My internship abroad was an amazing experience that helped me grow both personally and professionally. I gained valuable work experience, learned how to adapt to a new environment, and met people from different cultures. Living abroad also made me more independent and confident. I’m grateful for the opportunity and would definitely recommend this program to anyone looking to develop new skills, experience another culture, and create unforgettable memories.

My time at Seoul was an amazing and unforgettable experience. Being immersed in Korean culture and everyday life helped me grow, build character, and gain new perspectives of the world. AIP made the process easy and digestible, and I truly appreciate their guidance along the way. I would definitely recommend this experience if you are looking to get out of your comfort zone and experience a new culture!

AIP made my summer internship in South Korea fun and supportive! I was able to safely explore Korea while knowing if I ever needed anything they'd be one text away for help. They were so eager to get know us and allowed me to feel comfortable while doing something outside my comfort zone. I learned so much and I'm so grateful to have had this experience with AIP.

I did my internship in Japan during the summer. It was a bit difficult to find a company related to my area, but AIP made it possible and helped me find a good place. I had a really good experience and learned a lot from working in a different environment and living in another country. I would definitely recommend a program like this if you have the chance. It’s a great way to experience another culture, learn new things, and gain experience that can help improve your professional profile.

Thanks to AIP I had a very productive experience in Japan, the process took more time than I expected, but that’s because my job area was limited. Fortunately they found a job that fit my profile. Thank you

I spent six months in Bangkok through an internship organized by AIP, and I am very grateful for the experience. The internship gave me the opportunity to gain valuable professional experience, broaden my perspective, and develop new skills in an international environment. It definitely opened new opportunities and was a very rewarding experience. AIP made the whole process much easier by organizing the internship placement and arranging accommodation before my arrival. The apartment was in a great location, making it easy to get to work and explore the city. Whenever I had questions or needed support, Nisha, Herlyn and Kate from the community management team were always kind and happy to help. Overall, I had a very positive experience. Having AIP take care of the practical arrangements allowed me to focus on making the most of my internship and my time in Bangkok.

I spent six months in Bangkok on an internship organized through AIP, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. AIP played a vital role in advancing my professional path: they handled every detail with great efficiency and successfully placed me with an excellent company that aligned perfectly with my career goals. ​The apartment provided for the entire duration of my stay was in a highly convenient location, making daily commuting and exploring the city effortless. I am especially grateful to my coordinator, Nisha, who was absolutely wonderful throughout the process. She was always available to assist me with any concerns or questions, regardless of the time of day. I highly recommend AIP to anyone looking for a seamless, well-supported overseas internship!

My experience with Asia Internship Program was amazing from start to finish. I had very specific requirements for my internship, including finding an unpaid position that was longer than 8 weeks and focused on nonprofit or legal work rather than English teaching. While the placement process took some time, Jeff Oo was incredibly professional and reassuring throughout the process. He was honest about updates, never gave false hope, and made sure he was finding opportunities that were truly the right fit for me rather than rushing the process. Once I arrived in Taiwan, Nisha Shahi and Roro Lee were also incredibly supportive. Nisha helped arrange my transportation to and from the airport, answered my questions quickly when I was settling into my accommodation, and regularly checked in to make sure I was doing well. Their support made moving to a new country feel much less overwhelming. The internship itself exceeded my expectations, and I felt welcomed and comfortable as a queer Black student. I’m incredibly grateful for the care, professionalism, and effort the AIP team put into making this experience successful. I would highly recommend Asia Internship Program to any student looking for an international internship experience!

I have good experience with AIP during the summer. I learned and network a lot through the company. Especially thank you to my mentor Smile, her professionally and hospitality makes me feel welcomed in the company. Through the summer, I gain public speaking, marketing, and sales skill. This is a big step forward to my professional journey

I had a really good experience with AIP, especially with my agent, Jeff. My situation was a bit complicated because I had to return to my home country to renew my U.S. visa before travelling to Malaysia, but Jeff understood everything and guided me through the process. He stayed in contact, answered my questions, helped arrange interviews, and found a company that suited me. Even after I arrived in Malaysia, the AIP team checked in regularly to make sure everything was going well. I really appreciated how supportive and available they were throughout the whole experience.

I can’t say enough good things about this study abroad internship program in Japan. From day one, the support team went above and beyond — helping with everything from housing logistics to navigating cultural norms at the workplace, to just checking in to see how I was adjusting. Whenever I hit a snag (and there were a few, since everything was so new!), someone was always just a message away with real, helpful guidance. Working abroad completely shifted how I see the world and myself. Culturally, I learned to appreciate the nuance in Japanese communication styles — the emphasis on harmony, indirectness, and reading context that isn’t always spelled out. It pushed me to be more observant and adaptable in ways I didn’t expect. Professionally, it was just as transformative. I picked up a whole new appreciation for structure, teamwork, and attention to detail in a Japanese work environment, and it’s changed how I approach collaboration and problem-solving even now that I’m back home. This program didn’t just give me work experience — it gave me a completely new lens for how I think about both my career and myself. If you’re considering doing a study abroad internship, especially in Japan, I can’t recommend this program enough. The team truly cares about your growth, both professionally and personally.

I had an amazing six-month experience with Asia Internship Program. From the very beginning, the entire process of finding my internship was incredibly smooth and well organized, which made everything much less stressful. Throughout my six months, I felt genuinely supported whenever I needed help or had questions. I would especially like to thank Nisha Shahi for always being available, guiding me, and providing support whenever I needed it. I’m truly grateful to Asia Leadership Program for their professionalism, support, and dedication. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an international internship experience.

I got the chance to have a six week internship in Seoul, South Korea thanks to AIP, and it was one of the best things I’ve ever done! All the AIP staff were beyond accommodating and always made sure we had everything we needed to feel prepared and comfortable navigating such a new environment. Herlyn, Daisie, Jinwoo, Tyler, and Nisha were all wonderful and made my time abroad just that much more special. I absolutely loved my internship placement and would do it again in a heartbeat. AIP was amazing across the board! Totally recommend!
