Seoul Internship Program with CRCC Asia

My time in Seoul as part of the CRCC Asia Program is one to remember. Going to Seoul, I was nervous and sad about leaving home. From the moment I landed, I was greeted with a positive attitude and a very enthusiastic program manager. The people I met during my time in Seoul (on the same program and the Korean buddies) are life long friends, and the experiences we shared together will be memories we will cherish forever! To sum it up, the program has taught me life long skills, and connected me with a network from another country. A tip from me is to be proactive and find a company you want to work with! I ended up suggesting to the manager a few architecture firms to contact and I ended up with a very highly regarded firm in South Korea.

To sum it up, you will no regret going on this program!

Spending the summer interning in Seoul was an unforgettable experience! The CRCC Asia staff were very helpful and supportive before, during, and after the program ended providing us with helpful tips, a variety of cultural tours and experiences, along with opportunities to network with locals. I had gotten a great internship as well which allowed me to explore Seoul and many other cities in South Korea, which was excellent. My coworkers were nice and helpful, and I felt a lot of growth during my time working.

Arriving in Seoul was a breeze as the staff were helpful, provided a great presentation and could answer many questions. On the second day we had received our sim cards which were extremely helpful. One of the apps I recommend downloading to get around Seoul and other cities in South Korea is Naver Maps. One of the best parts of Seoul is the transportation system where you could get around the city for a low price on buses and the subway system. The food is Seoul is also excellent and cheap, there are so many places to shop in local markets, malls, and cultural areas. Don’t limit yourself to Seoul too much as there are other cities to go to and many cultural festivals and events throughout Korea. Purchasing bullet train tickets and bus tickets to travel to other cities are simple as well. I highly recommend this the Seoul Internship Program because it has made a lasting impact on me and there is always something great to do!

The CRCC Asia Seoul summer program will be unforgettable and the best experience I had! I meet great people who have similar interests as me from around the world and built strong relationships with my host company. The CRCC Asia staff were really on point in resolving any concerns and always willing to help you in anything you need, before and during your program! I highly recommend this program due to the experiences you will earn and the amounts of learning you will achieve. Also Seoul is such a beautiful city, rich in culture and fashion, cosmetics and in general lifestyle. In addition, CRCC Asia staff will have cultural events were you can learn and experience certain aspects of Korean culture and lifestyle, experiences you will regret to miss!!

My summer in Seoul was fantastic! I felt very supported by the CRCC staff throughout the process, from interviewing with companies in Seoul to discussing my preferences and leaving for Seoul with a preparatory talk. On arrival, the staff was helpful, courteous, attentive, and made sure that we were all taken care of and settling into the city nicely. I enjoyed the professional development workshops, the cultural tours and experiences, and other fun programs that were offered. My internship placement was perfect for me. The company aligned with my interests and the job was enjoyable too. My coworkers were amazing to work with and we still keep in touch regularly. I highly recommend the Seoul Internships Program. You will never be bored in Seoul!
