Coming to South Africa to intern for three months was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Not only was I able to explore the beautiful city of Cape Town, but also got to meet wonderful friends, make great memories, and gain valuable work experience. As a marketing intern for an environmentally focused social […]

I grew up in the Middle East, and finished my Undergraduate degree in Business Administration, in Dubai.

I decided to intern in an NGO in a different country to learn a new language, and […]

Connect-123 helped create a really incredible experience for me in Shanghai. They were very professional in their correspondence, from the initial interview to providing me with a good variety of internship and housing options.

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 […]

It was filled with real moments with real people that, thanks to Connect-123, I will never forget. Upon return, I told my co-workers about my […]

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. From my very first e-mail, to the interview and their subsequent meticulous follow-up, the sheer effervescence of everybody involved made the application process an exciting, rather than overwhelming, experience. 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 […]
