During my internship, I was mainly responsible for the creation and implementation of a 3 to 5-year Facility Strategy, a project in which I worked on for the entire six months of my internship. Also, I got the opportunity to work in the different departments of the organization which allowed me to have hands-on experience in the operation of a major sporting tournament, assist with the preparation of both the senior national teams for their tournaments in Europe and have the ability to meet important personnel within the sporting community.

The support and guidance I received from the Connect-123 team was remarkable. There was always someone available to assist me with anything I needed. One aspect I really enjoyed the most about this program was their planned monthly calendar of cultural and tourist activities and events. These events allowed me to visit many beautiful cities in Ireland, visit many tourist attractions such as Cliffs of Moher, Connemara, Wicklow Mountains and Giant’s Causeway as well as, meet other Connect-123 interns who are now some of my very good friends.

I strongly recommend the Connect-123 program to anyone who would like to experience more than just an internship. With Connect-123, you are guaranteed fun filled memories that you will never forget. I thank Connect-123 for everything they did for me. They truly made my internship experience in Dublin a fantastic one.
