Dublin Internship Review: The internship itself was amazing; I had the opportunity to increase my confidence in my communication skills and to learn more about the different methods in which to interact with children and stimulate their emotional growth. In addition, simply living in Dublin was a wonderful experience.

Barcelona Internship Review: My experience with Connect-123 has been nothing less than spectacular! The application process was really easy and fast. Overall, I am really glad that I signed up for this! My term break has never been so productive yet enjoyable at the same time.

Shanghai Internship Review: My internship at Shanghai was undoubtedly one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had in my life. I got to know some of the other interns, and you would be surprised at the variety of people and internships you’ll see there.

My experience with Connect-123 was great! I experienced life abroad, in the beautiful setting of Barcelona, where I could practice my Spanish and get practical work experience. I learned a lot about non-profit work and working in a different setting.

My coordinators kept me well-informed about what they needed from me, when a new offer came in, how to use the bus system, where to get groceries, etc. There was barely a moment of confusion during my internship experience.

Barcelona Internship Review: Not only did they help me find an internship, they offered security and a safe environment in which it was easy to find friends in familiar situations as myself. I might have been doing the traveling on my own, but reaching the destination I was far from that.

Cape Town Internship Review: Connect-123 provided phenomenal support leading up to my arrival. Doing a social work internship in an orphanage and townships, it certainly gave me eye-opening insight to the social situations in South Africa.

Buenos Aires Internship Review: I’ve always had a strong desire to have a professional experience abroad. Traveling is one of my passions, and I wanted to add to my career. I discovered Connect-123 and I have found it the best choice for me.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience during my four months in Cape Town. I gained professional experience through my internship at the Groote Schuur Hospital as well as increased cultural awareness through my everyday social encounters. I gained a well-rounded experience through Connect-123 achieving job exposure as well as enjoyment.

Through Connect-123, I had the opportunity to work at a digital startup in Barcelona for 9 weeks–an experience in which I grew, learned and pushed myself beyond my comfort zone. Connect-123 helped me land an internship, find housing, and meet other interns living in Barcelona. This would not have been possible without the support and guidance from the Connect-123 team. I can’t recommend this experience enough.
