Clara E
Graphic Design Intern | DublinI am grateful for Lea Levy and Connect-123 for my incredible Bucknell in Dublin experience. The internship process began several months ago and Lea was helpful every step of the way. I found the application form to be very useful to specify our areas of interest. Lea found several company matches for me and continued helping out, despite my fastidiousness and desire to find the perfect fit. And I did! My internship was precisely what I was seeking, thanks to Lea’s diligence and collaboration with me. She responded to emails in a timely manner and gave me interviewing tips to assist me in every way that I needed to secure my internship.
Connect-123 also planned wonderful weekly outings, where I was able to further immerse myself with Irish culture and history. I feel that these trips complemented my abroad experience, because I would not have learned about the complex Irish history without the structured, guided tours. I am appreciative that Bucknell collaborated with Connect-123 to create such a well-rounded and personalized study abroad and internship experience. I will never forget my time here, so thank you.

My experience with an internship through Connect-123 was incredibly exciting; I ended up working in precisely the field I’m interested in and gained valuable experience that will help me pursue my career. I also really enjoyed the Connect-123 sponsored trips, especially to the cliffs of Moher. One of the best things about being abroad is the ability to travel further. I’ve been able to cheaply travel extensively around Ireland as...

I was looking for a journalism internship and my first preference was Cape Town, but then this opportunity in Ireland came up and before I knew it I had a Skype interview with the head editor. A week later I was on the plane to Dublin in chase for a new adventure. Connect-123 might seem a bit expensive, but they do work fast and once I said yes to this...

Dublin was simply unforgettable. Those 2 months quickly became a life that I could not bear leave, and Ireland quickly became home. With an incredible internship in my field, true friendships, and a lively culture, Connect-123 provided a once in a lifetime opportunity. Interning as a publications assistant, I was given the privilege to singlehandedly prepare a one-time sports anthology. This project included working closely with the publications manager, the...

At the end of my final year of school I consciously made the decision not to take a gap year and instead jumped right into at least three more years of tests, assignments and exams. After seeing how much all of my school friends were enjoying their time abroad, I began to regret my decision. Although many of them were using their time to figure out what they wanted to...
