I interned with Connect-123 in Buenos Aires for 10 weeks in a micro-finance non-profit organization. My internship was exactly what I was looking for and if otherwise, it wouldn’t have made my stay in vibrant Buenos Aires the same. The city has so much to offer that you are constantly finding yourself outside meeting new […]

I had always thought about going to China all throughout college and when I missed my chance to study abroad I thought that I had missed out on an amazing opportunity. That is until I found out about Connect-123. I learned of the program through a friend and after learning more we both decided to […]

I don’t know where to start explaining my experience in Buenos Aires. I had an amazing two months in a great city with amazing people and employers. Connect-123 helped me with everything whenever I needed! Finding me an apartment in a great location, an amazing brand marketing internship, I study graphic design, and suggesting great […]

Coming back from a summer in Cape Town, South Africa was full of bittersweet moments. My summer, or winter in South Africa, was more than words and more than photos.

I came to Cape Town in the summer of 2011 with high expectations.  Thanks largely to the helpful staff at Connect-123, my expectations were easily matched and surpassed.  The Connect-123 team was able to place me in an internship that allowed me to grow professionally.  I was given plenty of responsibility and enjoyed going to […]

Allow me to start by stating simply that Connect-123 has been one of the best organisations I have had the pleasure of working with.

I knew […]

I interned with Connect-123 in Shanghai for two months this fall/winter. Traveling to such a foreign and exotic place (I’m from Kansas), I was both apprehensive and nervous. However, those feelings of uneasiness were quickly expunged as soon as I stepped off the plane and met my program coordinator. Shanghai is a unique city, and […]

Doing an internship abroad is a great opportunity, and Connect-123 made it really easy to get and even more delightful! Even if you don’t want to work abroad or in a global company, you will improve your personal skills so much faster, living in an unusual environment, with a lot of people sharing different cultures […]

I interned through Connect-123 in October and November 2011 with a financial services firm in Shanghai, China. My internship was both fulfilling and challenging, pushing me to think in new ways while learning new financial tools and processes. As for the program itself, second to none. To summarize in one word: FAMILY. That is what […]
