Asia Internship Program

My experience may be somewhat unique as the only real support I needed was help securing a placement, not the fuller range AIP typically offers. I worked with AIP through my university, and the staff were great, especially Tyler, who was quick to communicate and support me throughout. Early on there was some misalignment with my placement, requiring a fair amount of back-and-forth to resolve. I also wish there'd been more transparency upfront about program accommodations, details, and health benefits. Specifically, I wish I'd known what the insurance plans actually covered, so I would've felt more comfortable going to the doctor or navigating the city if needed. AIP claims to offer this kind of support, but I never used it, needed it, or even knew the details of what was available. Beyond helping kick off conversations with partners early, I'm not sure how much added value AIP provided in my case, but it was reassuring to have a support community there just in case. Worth it for a student coming in independently who needs support and planning help. Less clear whether it's worth it for a university.

Thanks to AIP, I did a 2 month internship in Spain. Nisha and Tyler were very helpful with the placement process and making sure everything ran smoothly. 10/10 and I 100% recommend doing AIP if you’re looking to intern abroad.

I had an amazing experience with interning abroad through AIP. They supported me through any questions I had and the housing for the duration of the program. I had a great time interning abroad in Japan for 8 weeks thanks to this program and the wonderful advisors that helped me!
