#1 A Unique Learning Model
Just like its digital solutions, the learning model for the AIP is one of its kind to ensure interns can reach their fullest potential. It is broken into three sections: Learning by Application where interns are involved in at least one core project for hands-on exposure and are encouraged to participate in team meetings and social activities to really understand the ASM work culture; Learning from Others where interns receive mentorship and coaching by leaders, work alongside their buddies, and join sharing sessions for more insight; and Self Learning that involves online learning through ASM’s internal training platforms, classroom trainings and workshops, webinars, and regular briefings.

During your internship with ASM, you will have the opportunity to experience the forefront of technology, staying up to date with the latest trends and tools. With a strong focus on technical development, the company continuously invests in its people, fostering a culture of forward-thinking and innovation, allowing ASM to outpace competitors and drive success.

#3 Like-Minded Individuals
The AIP is a group intake internship which means you’ll make some profound connections and friendships with other interns just like yourself during your intake. Embarking on the journey with like-minded buddies who share your interests in IT can make the entire experience more memorable and enjoyable. Additionally, ASM fosters an inclusive and open culture that values the input and ideas of every individual. Here, you are encouraged to share your thoughts and opinions, even beyond work-related matters, because ASM believes in creating a supportive and engaging environment for all.
