Internship in Korea - Asia Internship Program

My time in Korea with AIP was one of the best decisions I made in college. I interned at NEFSLAB, a workspace design and commercial construction consulting firm in Seoul, and the placement matched my interests way better than I expected going in. Jinwoo made sure everything ran smoothly from day one and was always quick to help when I needed something sorted out. Daisy checked in regularly and genuinely cared about how the internship was going, not just as a box to check. Herlyn and Nisha both made the program feel personal instead of corporate, answering questions fast and making Seoul feel a lot less overwhelming during my first few weeks. Beyond the internship itself, the program gave me room to explore Jeju, Busan, and Kyoto on the side, which turned the trip into a lot more than just an internship abroad. I came back with real work experience, a stronger resume, and a much clearer sense of what I want out of my career.

This past summer, I had the privilege of completing an internship in South Korea thanks to the efforts and accommodation of AIP. Although it was my first time in Asia, and I initially worried about the language barrier and cultural differences, I received tremendous support that eased all my concerns and helped me feel confident in a completely new environment. I am very grateful for this opportunity and recommend AIP to anyone interested in visiting Asia while advancing their career!

I had a great time with my internship placement in South Korea! The company environment was incredibly welcoming and friendly to us interns. There was a lot of structured and helpful guidance. It is an experience I would absolutely love to repeat.
