Overview

What it's like to intern here

Real work for a company in Asia, from your own desk

A remote internship with AIP is a real internship, done online. We match you with a host company in Asia in your field. The company assigns you a named supervisor and gives you work that matters to its team.

You work in English, on the company's tools, in hours that overlap with its business day. You come away with experience at an international employer and an evaluation from your supervisor, without a visa, a flight or a move.

Your working week

How a remote internship runs

You agree your schedule with the host company before you start, so you can plan it around classes or other commitments.

Hours

About 20 to 25 hours a week

Your working hours overlap with the host company's business day in its time zone, so you can join meetings and get answers the same day.

Every week

A call with your supervisor

A weekly call to review your work, agree priorities and get feedback. Day to day you talk over chat, email and video.

Output

Deliverables with deadlines

You own tasks with clear deadlines: a campaign, a report, a design set, a piece of code. Your supervisor evaluates your work at the end.

About every 2 weeks

An AIP check-in

The AIP team checks in with you and with the company. If a problem can't be solved, we find you a new placement.
