APAC startup internships · Wu.Ships · Parent guide

Bold for them. Safe for you.

A short-term internship of 4 to 8 weeks at a venture-backed startup in Singapore, Vietnam, Tokyo and beyond. The adventure is real; so are the guardrails. Every host is vetted and under a signed agreement, your child gets a named mentor and a local guide reachable any hour, and we run structured check-ins from application to wrap.
