testimonials “The company I was working for does IT Consulting businesses, and its name is Global Partner Technology. This internship led me to the real world of Japanese business world. Thanks to the internship, I was exposed to the workaholic side of me, now I know how much time and effort I am willing to put into work. When my boss introduced me to the person in charge of the company’s branch in Singapore, I knew that he recognized my work and my efforts in the 2 months paid off.”

Wu Xuejun, Nanyang Technological University, Japan “The internship provides me a completely new working environment, work scope as well as a new living environment and culture. There is always something different and new outside the sphere that we are used to. When we adopt changes and try something we have never tried before, we do not only enhance our experience, but also enrich our life.”

Lin Shijun, Nanyang Technological University, Germany

testimonials "Life begins at the edge of your comfort zone." This quote which I have been hearing a lot of of late sums up my AIESEC internship experience perfectly. When I first decided on Russia out of all the opportunities available, it was when the situation between Russia and Ukraine is extremely tense.

Everyone from friends to complete strangers tried their best to talk me out of it. Thinking back, I am glad that I went ahead with the plans instead of following their advice. My program is suppose to be a 2.5 months program where I teach Chinese in a Lingua Plus, a language school situated in Russia, Arkhangelsk. Nearly two months into the program, I can say with absolute certainty that it is and will always be an experience I will never forget. The Russia which I am introduced to is completely different to the Russia which is presented in the media, the one which I am taught to believe. The friendliness which I have received from AIESEC Arkhangelsk and the locals is overwhelming to say the least. Since the day I arrived in the city, I am bombarded with a tidal wave of new faces and invitations to various events. There is never a dull moment as with each day, comes opportunities to learn or try or meet something new.

testimonials Coming to Russia not only allowed me to learn from highly experienced teachers who are more than willing to help me develop professionally, but allow me to see the world is a new light. The best aspect of AIESEC is that it allows you to step right out of your comfort zone and give you the chance to experience life in a country which you know little to nothing about.

Luan Ling, National University of Singapore, Russia
