Internship in Tokyo

I had an amazing experience with AIP!! After deciding between university and other options I settled on an internship and AIP helped streamline the entire process allowing me to have an amazing internship in Japan! The process was easy with an interview being secured pretty quickly. The interview went smoothly and I ended up in Tokyo! I had a lot of fun during my internship and couldn’t recommend it more for anyone hoping to gain experience in their desired field and experience living in a different country.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
i decided to go to a concert on my own!! it was in nagoya and as my intership was in tokyo i had to travel alone and i was pretty nervous. but overall i had fun

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience with AIP!

Interning in Japan through AIP was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Japan is one of the most beautiful and unique countries I’ve ever visited, and I enjoyed every moment of my internship abroad. From meeting incredible new people to gaining valuable skills and immersing myself in a different culture, this experience exceeded all my expectations.

A huge shoutout to Herlyn and Kate, who were absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. They were incredibly helpful, always checking in on me, promptly responding to my questions, and making sure everything ran smoothly, from organising company interviews to arranging accommodation and even giving me great tips for Japan. Their support made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable!

If you're considering interning overseas, I highly recommend AIP, it’s an opportunity you won’t regret!

Would recommend - had the best time!

I had an amazing experience with AIP during my 4-week internship in Tokyo! From start to finish, everything was well-organised, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. The internship placement was a great fit, allowing me to gain valuable hands-on experience while immersing myself in Japanese work culture.

One of the highlights was the accommodation—it was in a fantastic location, making it easy to explore Tokyo during my free time. Having a comfortable and convenient place to stay really added to the experience.

A special shoutout to Herlyn, who was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. She was always there to answer any questions and made sure everything went smoothly. Her support made a huge difference, and I truly appreciated it!

Overall, I highly recommend AIP for anyone looking for an international internship experience. It’s a great way to gain work experience while exploring an amazing city like Tokyo!

Japan Internship

AIP helped me find a great internship in Japan. When looking for opportunities from the UK, I found it very difficult to understand the process and to find companies which accept English-only speakers. Luckily, AIP helped me create a good CV and contacted multiple companies to set up interviews. My internship was 6 months long and I enjoyed all of it! I was lucky to have really kind coworkers and despite leaving Japan, I’m sure I will see them again. Thank you for giving me this opportunity and helping me make my first step :)

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Come with an open mind, things don’t always go your way but it all depends on your perspective. I recommend learning some Japanese as you may struggle without it. You don’t need to do the JLPT tests but knowing a few basics would definitely help!
Pros
  • Fun
  • Meeting new people
  • Understanding yourself more
Cons
  • Can feel a little lonely at times
  • The moving process is not easy

A complete lifechanger!

The whole experience was great, from the beginning, the AIP staff was very helpful, they were very attentive and supportive pre-departure and already in Japan. The company in which I did my internship was great, they were seeking a professional with my exact profile so we matched very soon, moreover, I learned many things not only about the Japanese culture but about the job tasks I was doing, all the knowledge acquired has helped me back into my college. Furthermore, I recently signed a full-time job contract with the company due to my performance in the internship, so I totally recommend it!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The cultural shock you experience at the beginning is huge. Almost everything is different, so you begin feeling that pressure. Nevertheless, to overcome it, you just have to accept it and open your mind to all those new things. Once you have done that, you begin to enjoy it and grow enormously. It is a complete life-changer.
Pros
  • Great good.
  • You learn something new everyday.
  • There is always something to do or discover.
Cons
  • It is not easy if you expect to do not work hard.
  • You will walk much.
  • The pressure at the beginning is much, but it is mostly something made up by your mind.

My internship abroad in Japan

I attended a 3 month internship abroad in Japan through AIP. I can say that everything, from the registration process all the way to the end of my internship, was extremely professional. Not only was I given a personal account manager (Nisha, thank you!) that constantly kept me up to date, even with a large time difference between us in my own country and also in Japan, but I was also placed into a group chat upon arrival in Japan with 3 AlP workers continuously inquiring about my wellbeing and asking if I ever had questions or concerns. I don't want to make this review to long, but I will say that there are many, many other things that l'd like to say I was thoroughly impressed with. I couldn't recommend AlP enough if you want a great internship experience abroad. Thank you again to everyone who made my experience that much easier.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
I’m stuck in between saying the night life in Shibuya and the beauty of Mount Fuji 😂
Pros
  • The people/food
  • The friends I made
  • My work place and coworkers
Cons
  • My internship wasn’t long enough
  • Some food was kinda crazy
  • Idk honestly I can’t say anything bad

My 6-months Tech Internship

As a recent graduate entering the real-life coding world, these past 6 months have been a thrilling exploration. When I face challenges, I ask my teammates, learn from them, and work together as a team. My team's support has been crucial, and in these 6 months, I've accomplished my tasks in the project I've been involved in. There might be a language barrier for those who can't speak Japanese. For me, everything was better than what I had expected. Accommodation, travel, food, people, and culture are a perfect fit for me and I've just fallen in love with Japan. Thanks again, AIP for creating this path to my career journey.

Pros
  • Food and Drinks
  • Transportation
  • Friendly and Kind People
Cons
  • Cold Weather

My 6 months- IT Internship Journey in Japan

As a recent graduate entering the real-life coding world, these past 6 months have been a thrilling exploration. When I faced challenges, I asked questions to my teammates, learned from my teammates, and worked together in a team. Fixing bugs and completing projects feel like big wins. My team's support has been crucial, and in these 6 months, I've accomplished my tasks in the project I've involved. There might be a language barrier for those who can't speak Japanese. For me, everything was better than what I had expected. Accommodation, travel, food, people, and culture are a perfect fit for me and I've just fallen in love with Japan.
Thanks again, AIP for creating this path to my career journey.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Since English is not their first language, you might have the biggest language barrier, while communicating with locals.
Whether you are studying or working there, you should be fluent in a conversational level.
