Inside the internship

I interned at an anti-human trafficking organization. I researched the cases of girls who had gone missing and interviewed their family members to create a database used to assist these families with legal proceedings. It made me want to pursue a career in human rights.

Human Rights Intern

At an impactful human rights non-profit, I was encouraged to draft project reports, secure funding for LGBT refugees, and develop a storyboard for a film. I attended official board meetings regarding refugees in Argentina and even met refugees to hear their stories.

I worked for an Argentinian NGO specialized in human rights, offering assistance and advice to immigrants and refugees facing protection and safety challenges. Visits to embassies and talks gave me a deeper insight into contemporary issues, a tremendous accomplishment for an International Relations student.

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!
