I was able to learn so many skills, and put my knowledge of things I’ve learned in college into practice. Connect-123 was extremely helpful in placing me in my internship and connecting me with support all around Dublin and within my intern host organization.

All in all I couldn’t have asked for a better experience: throughout all parts – my internship, my living situation, how Connect-123 assisted me throughout it all and the culture and city of Buenos Aires.

I had always wanted to travel to Europe, so to be able to do so while pursuing my career path was an incredible opportunity for me. In Dublin, I got a fantastic internship at an organization that helps to design therapeutic and personalized approaches to cancer.

Each and every day brought new learning curves and challenges, but also gave me valuable learning experiences that I will hold with me forever. I grew so much, personally and professionally, and I was able to expand my horizons beyond what I had already learned in the field of child life.

The internship I accepted was one of the most rewarding job experiences I have had to date. It was very apparent that the Connect-123 staff didn’t just match me with the first company they spoke to, but instead matched me with a company that they felt I would excel at.

I was fortunate enough to be given rewarding work, and I was given great exposure into my field of interest. Connect-123 offers you the chance to both find work that is beneficial and travel with the comfort of knowing you won’t be alone in a new place.

Connect-123 found a volunteer opportunity for me that accommodated my desires. I volunteered for a foundation that worked with youth at risk. I experienced the excitement as well as the hardship adapting to new environments.

I worked at a nongovernmental organization that focuses on the prevention of economic crime. I really enjoyed working with the team. Working abroad in a different language was definitely a challenge at times but was exactly what I wanted to accomplish.

My internship was great, I worked in a start-up and had autonomy to help the team in different ways. I learned and experienced so much from this program and I would recommend it to anyone who’s looking to learn, have fun and enrich their lives in the process.

My two main goals arriving in Argentina was to further improve my Spanish and to gain working experience; but I honestly think I got a lot more out of this internship than just those two goals.
