Global Remote Internships
Go global, from anywhere
Launch your global career from wherever you are. Our remote internships connect you with organizations around the world, so you can build real experience from home and fit it around your studies, work or other commitments.
Since 2006, Connect-123 has helped thousands of students and recent graduates find career-related internships with organizations worldwide.
In our remote program, you’ll work with international teams in fields from business and marketing to sustainability and research, and build the remote-work skills employers value.
Why intern remotely?
A remote internship is more than a convenient option. You’ll join an international team, collaborate across cultures and time zones, and build the communication, project management and teamwork skills employers increasingly look for.
Whether you’re supporting a fast-growing start-up, contributing to a mission-driven NGO or helping a research team, you’ll take on real responsibility and grow your confidence and global network along the way.
