Through the program I gained a lot of valuable experience that I could put towards my classes and my career. In addition to that, I made many incredible contacts that are open to me working with them in the future. This program not only provides students the internship experience they need on their resume, but also a better understanding of global business and culture.

Working with physicians and other staff members at one of the most famous international hospitals in Shanghai, China has helped me grow as an individual and gave me a clear vision of what practicing medicine is like. It is mainly because of this experience that I am now able to finally say that medicine is definitely the career path I want to take.

My child life practicum was absolutely amazing! It has given me the opportunity to take the next step towards my goal of becoming a Child Life Specialist and it was amazing to have done it in such a unique, diverse country.

My six months as an intern with Connect-123 was an incredible learning experience. I met so many wonderful people at my internship, in Buenos Aires and around Argentina. I have returned to the US with skills I can carry with me for the rest of my life, as well as long-lasting friendships and amazing memories.

Consider this program even if you don’t know any Chinese. In Shanghai, I got by from only knowing English because many people were bilingual and some public spaces had English translated signs. But still try to learn some basic Mandarin, as even a little bit can go a long way.

My time in Buenos Aires was amazing. I interned for a municipal government, and got the opportunity to write draft bills to present to local council.

My two-month internship in Buenos Aires exceeded all of my expectations. This program is a great way to be immersed in another language and culture and I am so grateful for this opportunity!

If you are looking for an outstanding practicum that can help you grow not only professionally but on a personal level as well, THIS IS PERFECT FOR YOU!

During my practicum, I had the opportunity to work in several children’s hospitals around the Cape Town area. Each hospital was unique within itself which further helped me practice my various child life skills. Under the supervision of a Certified Child Life Specialist, I was given autonomy to build upon my strengths and weaknesses.

Connect-123’s support and structure allowed me to focus on what I was doing rather than worrying about the changes from being in a completely new place.  Thanks C123!
