About ASEM Work Placement
ASEM (Asia European Meeting), an information-sharing forum among Asian and European countries, launched ASEM Work Placement Pilot Programme (ASEM-WP), a work-based experience mobility program that enables participating higher education institutions to exchange students abroad for two to six months period of work placement or internship in a designated partner company. The participating countries in this network include Germany, Belgium, Brunei Darussalam, Thailand and Indonesia.
