Remote Internships by Asia Internship Program (AIP)

A great experience during this difficult period of time has taught me many things. I actually would like to have an internship abroad at the beginning, but due to the pandemic that causes traveling be harder than before. Therefore I decided to change the type of my internship to be a remote internship instead of an in-person internship.
On the other hand, this internship has given me many things such as remote working skills in which we will have to be concentrated and prioritize our tasks carefully to finish them in time and also it helps me improve my communication skill as we worked remotely, therefore, we have to make it be most efficient.

The remote internship is something that should be promoted more among students since from my experience distance work is truly the future of the workforce. The young generation should be the one moving forward and not just changing the world into a better place but also providing alternatives that will be more efficient and profitable for everyone. Rather than staying in a cubicle in the office, remote work develops strong self-discipline and lets you work on something meaningful without being checked every minute by a supervisor. Appreciate AIP's help in opening eyes into new normal reality and smooth process of the placement.

I desperately needed an internship to complete my degree. I tried looking for internships on my own, but to no success. Luckily, I came across AIP. I applied on their website, sent my CV, and next thing I know I was being interviewed by one of their admin. Everyone has been so nice and helpful throughout the whole process. They sent many great offers until I finally found the right fit for me. They guided me through processing my visa and not long after I was on a flight to Japan! The whole process was really smooth and quick. During my time in Japan, I met so many great people, experienced their wonderful culture, and gained hands-on work experience that I will always remember. I wouldn’t have been able to achieve any of it without the help of the wonderful staff of AIP!

I completed by first ever remote internship with the help of AIP a few months ago. I was supposed to do an internship in Singapore but had to cancel everything last minute due to the pandemic situation. A friend of mine was doing remote internships through AIP, so I decided to do the same. Honestly, I had my doubts because I didn’t think it would be possible to gain hands-on experience through a remote internship, but I was wrong! I got a chance to work with a tech company in Singapore. Even though we were in different continents and time zones, they treated me like one of their employees and gave me tasks that helped me improve my skills. I had the freedom to work from anywhere and at my own pace. My AIP supervisor was also very kind and responsive to emails. To anyone considering a remote internship now, I definitely recommend you try it out!

Saying that this internship was great is a huge understatement. We're in the day and age where remote styled work is encouraged ever since the COVID-19 global pandemic.

It was a struggle at the start to find an internship on my own due to the lack of responses from so many companies that it felt that I needed help. I came through a couple of internship providers but AIP was the one that stood out the most. Going through the whole process was great and simple. The companies provided to me were interested and I ended up finding the right one for me!

I was able to gain so much experience from this internship alone and I even decided to go through with a longer duration just because of how valuable the experience was. I would like to give my thanks to AIP and to my host company for taking care of me throughout the way.

Never in my life did I think I would be doing my internship remotely. But with the circumstances we are in right now, I am lucky to have been able to do an internship at all. I admit, I had my doubts about it at first. However, AIP made the progress and the experience so comfortable for me that it ended up being a really good time. I also know that this may be the future of the work environment as well so I am glad I got the chance to experience a bit of it with my internship. Thank you AIP for this opportunity. I would never have considered it if it wasn't for your program!

I am probably one of the few people who would have opted for a remote internship even without the ongoing pandemic. I am naturally a very introverted person. However, this didn't stop me from wanting to do an internship. I had a pre conceived notion that remote meant not as high quality as an on site internship. However, I was mistaken. The process AIP took me through to find me a company that was perfect for me and so well organized, it almost felt like I was on ground. It was an unreal experience. Thank you AIP!

At first I was hesitant on trying a remote internship because I thought would I gain any experience from it? Would I learn anything new? And I was very wrong! Remote internship is the same as an in-person internship. Especially during this pandemic, I’m glad I found AIP where they provided me a remote internship that I have managed to learn so much more about graphic design and where I still got opportunities to be part of projects that challenged me.

I was glad that AIP found me a remote internship in a company in Australia where I learnt so much more about the industry and types of projects I would do when I get a full time job in my career. Not only this, I could do my internship in the comfort of my own bed! I saved so much money on transport, on flights and accommodation.

Highly recommended! Start your career now with a remote internship with AIP because you won’t regret it!

I have applied to AIP and looked for a remote internship for a company in Asia. My internship assistant has provided me 3 companies which located in different countries in Asia. The First is located in Singapore, the second is in Malaysia, and lastly is in Thailand. I would say that all companies gave me the different perspectives of my future career path and they are all great! As I am flexible and willing to learn things, I am so opened to all of them. However, the company in Thailand is what I have chosen because this seems to suit my abilities the most. Moreover, with the given direction that they would not only let me have daily tasks as normal employees, they gave me a chance to have my own project! They let me be free on my personal interest that could be applied to their company and they let me tried working on that continually at the same time I worked on my position. I would say that it was so great to be able to experience the real situation in which it could answer all of my curiosities about working in real life after graduation. It does give me a great experience and thoughts when I was working. The skills I have, what should I improve, and what should I do to prepare myself better in every day in order to be a better person for myself and for the company.
At the moment, the internship ended already, but what I have received from that still be beneficial for me such as I know myself better in a way that what I do like to do for work in specific field and what I am really good at it. My supervisor has mentioned the international phrase of “put the right man on the right job” to me, and I think that it is so true and powerful. Because of being put it the right position, it will allow the person to learn correctly in that field and to be professional in what we like is so happy!
Due to the current situation that it might be tough to have an in-person internship in the country and also my preference to have a remote internship so that it came as my plan. Other skills I think that significant at the moment are the skill of using programs for working online and adapting yourself along with the situation. No one can predict what I will happen, but the way that will help us survive is to be able to work even it is in the normal situation.
I would love to say thank you for AIP that provided me lots of opportunities to choose and provided me all important advices. Also, I would really love to thank you the company and especially my supervisor.
He was not only guide me with the work tasks, but also advises when the real situation in workplace. More than that is an amazing description and invitation to visit Thailand!
THANK YOU!
