Inside the internship

I interned at a filming and photography location where companies come to do photoshoots and shoot commercials. I witnessed world-famous brands shoot commercials here, and I even got a chance to take pictures for a famous clothing line at the Malba Museum.

At Connect-123, we’re passionate about creating meaningful, life-changing global internship experiences, not only for our participants but also for the local businesses, nonprofit organizations, and communities we work with. While each student’s priorities are different, we believe the best way to compare internship placement providers is to ask the right questions.

Here are three key questions we encourage you to consider:

1) Can I speak with someone before applying?

A reputable internship placement organization should want to learn about you before you apply. If an organization offers a conversation upfront, it’s a strong sign they care about your goals, motivations, and fit. If you’re required to submit an application or pay a deposit before speaking with anyone, the focus may be more on making a sale than on ensuring the right match. At Connect-123, we always recommend starting with a conversation. You’ll speak directly with a program coordinator before deciding whether to apply. This ensures transparency, alignment, and realistic expectations from the start. You can schedule a call anytime by contacting us.

2) Is the deposit refundable?

Many internship placement providers require a non-refundable deposit, regardless of the outcome. Our policy is different. If you do not receive an offer in your first or second choice field, your deposit is fully refundable. We work closely with you to understand your interests and requirements and are confident in our ability to find a placement that aligns with your goals.

3) Does the organization have academic partnerships?

Universities carefully vet internship placement organizations through extensive due diligence processes. Choosing a provider with established academic partnerships adds an important layer of credibility and oversight. Since 2006, Connect-123 has worked with students from 600+ universities worldwide and maintains formal partnerships with numerous institutions. We also have long-standing relationships with career center advisors, study abroad directors, and faculty members.

Ultimately, the best internship placement organization is the one that prioritizes you, and that’s exactly what we strive to deliver!
