Internship in Seoul

I had a wonderful time over my 2 months in Seoul - across both my work and travel experience in Korea.

AIP matched me with the perfect company for my marketing internship, and I couldn't be happier with my work experience. They took care of my accomodation well, and kept in contact with me throughout the journey.

I have really cherished immersing myself in the unique cultural landscape of Korea, from food to history to shopping!

Very grateful to AIP for helping me get my foot in the door in an industry I am looking to work in, as well as a country I have been wanting to visit for a long time.

Marketing Internship Experience Abroad

During my internship, I learned practical things that will help me in my future job. I learned about using social media, advertising, marketing, creating content, analyzing data, and managing campaigns. This helped me understand more about job opportunities in business and how businesses work. The internship also taught me important skills like communication, which will be useful if I decide to pursue a career in marketing. I would like to thank AIP, especially my account manager for matching me with a company that really suit my skills.

Pros
  • A lot of food options
  • Friendly locals
Cons
  • Language barrier

Exploring Seoul

Living in Seoul has been an adventure in itself, with the vibrant cityscape, rich history, and welcoming locals. The blend of modernity and tradition created a unique backdrop for personal and professional growth. Engaging in the local culture has added depth to my overall experience.

I am grateful for the chance to contribute to meaningful projects while learning from seasoned professionals. Seoul has left an indelible mark on both my career and personal journey. This internship has been a truly enriching and transformative experience

Great internship

I did a 6 month long internship via AIP to South Korea and it was amazing! I got to learn a lot via my internship company, i couldn’t have found it without AIP. Their support throughout my whole stay was also good, they checked up on me a lot and made sure i was doing okay. It was a good experience and i am very grateful! It is a lot of work and hard work but i would go again and experience this great internship again!

Ik heb een stage van 6 maanden via AIP naar Zuid-Korea gedaan en het was geweldig! Ik heb veel mogen leren via mijn stagebedrijf, zonder AIP had ik het niet gevonden. Hun steun tijdens mijn hele verblijf was ook goed, ze controleerden me veel en zorgden ervoor dat het goed met me ging. Het was een goede ervaring en ik ben erg dankbaar! Het is veel werk en hard werken, maar ik zou opnieuw gaan en deze geweldige stage opnieuw ervaren!

Amazing Seoul Experience

Considering that I was travelling alone for the first time, it was a huge relief to have AIP guide me all throughout the process. They made sure that I am connected to other interns and met them in person. This entire internship experience gave me the opportunity to not only get outside my comfort zone, but also to introduce myself to another culture, learn about what I am passionate about, and prepare myself for my future career. My host company was very accommodating and I will surely miss my Korean friends.

Social Media Marketing Intern @ AIP

Did a 3M Internship with AIP to Seoul, South Korea - and I loved every minute of my journey here. I made many new friends, explored many places from Nami Island to Busan, and gained valuable professional work experiences.

The process with AIP was very easy and smooth as they provide you with so much information. Special thanks to Nisha and Herlyn for helping me settle in Seoul, it is my first time in Korea so they eased my worries a lot. Overall, they're very communicative, friendly and supportive - I definitely recommend using AIP service :)

Pros
  • Opportunities for travel out of work
  • Affordable and cheap food
  • Safety
Cons
  • Would of loved free lunches as compensation @ work
  • Monsoon season

If you’re a tech geek like me then look no further than South Korea!

If you’re a massive tech geek like myself then you have to visit one of the most technologically advanced places in the world, South Korea. When I arrived in Seoul, it was like I was in some tech geek’s paradise. It’s like Disneyland but imagine a whole city of it.

I did a 3 month internship at this great IT startup company right in the heart of the city and it was brilliant! There is a great saying that if you find a job you enjoy doing, you never have to work a day in your life and that resonated with me throughout my internship experience. I was in paradise and honestly wish it didn’t end!

In my free time I also managed to explore different places in South Korea and the country absolutely fascinated me. Just this whole experience really made me want to actively pursue a career in IT hopefully in South Korea too!

I want to thank my supervisor for giving me valuable insights and skills throughout my duration. I couldn’t have asked for someone better! I also want to thank my colleagues for being extremely kind and friendly. Best colleagues I could have asked for and lastly a special shoutout to AIP for making my trip in South Korea a memorable one!

A lifelong dream finally completed!

I am absolutely obsessed with South Korea. From binge-watching K-drama to listening to K-pop and Korean being my favourite cuisine, you can only imagine how excited I was by being able to intern in South Korea!

I was so excited that I barely slept on my long-haul flight to Seoul. When I got there my jaw dropped. It felt like I was dreaming as it took me so long to realize that I was actually in South Korea, the place that’s been on top of my bucket list forever!

Heads up guys, if you think Korean food is good in your country, be prepared to be blown away! If you’re coming here on a diet, then forget about it cause Korean food is absolutely fantastic!

I did my internship at a great marketing company in the heart of Seoul and it was fabulous! I had wonderful colleagues as well with who I’ve become really good friends. My office wasn’t even far from my accommodation so if I had to burn the previous night’s dinner and the weather was good I would sometimes walk to work!

I’ve had a truly wonderful time in South Korea and I was absolutely gutted to leave after 6 beautiful months. Thank you, AIP for making my dreams come true of finally being able to go to South Korea. Special shoutout to my work colleagues and I can’t wait to come back in the near future!
