Internship Types

The AIIB Global Internship Program provides two distinct pathways to offer students meaningful professional and academic experiences:

1. Corporate Internship

It is designed to immerse students in project-based work addressing AIIB’s key business needs. Interns may engage in either a Collaborative Project, where teams of 2-3 interns pitch and execute innovative solutions to business challenges, or an Individual Project, where they independently manage and deliver tangible outcomes for specific assignments.

2. Research/Academic Internship

This flexible internship focuses on specialized, research-intensive projects, ideal for students seeking opportunities during their academic semesters. It can be conducted remotely or in person, allowing interns to contribute to AIIB’s strategic goals through comprehensive research and targeted deliverables over an extended period.
