We understand that sending your child overseas for an internship or exchange programme can feel daunting. CareerBank™ and the ISHEP programme are built with safety, support, and transparency at every step.
We've worked with thousands of families across Malaysia, Indonesia, and across ASEAN. Here's what parents ask us most.
All host companies are VERI5® verified · we physically vet every employer before they can accept students. We also provide pre-departure safety briefings, emergency contact protocols, and a 24/7 support line. We're building a track record of safe international placements with every student we send.
Costs vary by programme and destination. Many students receive monthly allowances from their host companies. CareerBank also offers mobility grants and scholarships that can cover flights, accommodation, and living expenses. Our team provides a detailed cost breakdown before any commitment is made.
For ISHEP placements, we coordinate or recommend verified accommodation options near the host company. Many host companies provide accommodation as part of the placement package. We never place students without confirmed, safe housing in place.
All international internship placements are coordinated with the student's university. We work directly with faculties to ensure the placement fulfils credit hour requirements. Our team handles all the academic liaison paperwork · your child just focuses on the experience.
Yes · always. Every student has a dedicated CareerBank placement coordinator. Parents receive the coordinator's direct contact before departure. Our support line operates 24/7 during active placements, and we have local ground teams in all placement countries.
The ISHEP— programme is built around structure, safety, and measurable outcomes. Your child doesn't just get placed · they grow.
Mandatory orientation sessions covering safety, cultural readiness, workplace expectations, and emergency protocols. Students leave prepared · not just excited.
Students are placed in VERI5®-verified companies with structured work plans, assigned supervisors, and weekly check-ins with CareerBank coordinators.
Monthly skill workshops, mentorship sessions, and career coaching are included throughout the placement · not just at the start.
Parents receive a mid-placement progress update. Employers submit formal performance assessments that feed into the student's CareerBank profile.
All ISHEP students are covered by comprehensive international personal accident and medical insurance throughout their placement duration.
Students receive a VERI5®-certified completion report and CareerBank certificate that is recognised by universities and employers across ASEAN.
"I was very nervous when my daughter said she wanted to do her internship in Bangkok. But CareerBank's team reassured me at every step. They were responsive, professional, and my daughter came back a completely different person · more confident, more mature."
"As a father, I needed to know my son was in safe hands. The coordinator's direct number gave me peace of mind. He's now working at a Singapore MNC · and it all started with CareerBank."
"The ARTSPOSURE™ programme for my daughter was the best investment we ever made in her future. She came back with a completely different outlook, a professional portfolio, and connections in Paris and Milan."
