I worked as a research intern at an arts archive that documents the multiple recent histories of art in Asia. Connect-123 managed to select an internship that fit the description we had discussed on our first phone call

My remote internship at a Budapest-based non-profit consisted of helping migrants and marginalized communities in Hungary through grants and legal aid, spreading awareness through social media, and working closely with my supervisors to come up with ideas.

I made connections in Ireland that I will continue to have as I develop my career. As a Pre-Med student, the pandemic made opportunities limited, but my virtual internship gives me a nice advantage on my resume.

During my time, I volunteered with two hospitals in South Africa, worked with many different children and families, and met so many warm-hearted people that I will never forget.

I now have a better understanding of sustainable, and culturally sensitive Public Health approaches, and how to assess them. My professional skills have also developed greatly, as juggling a time difference and completing independent tasks

All my questions were answered and my anxieties were eased and within a few weeks, I was matched with a company that fit exactly what I was looking for in my field in terms of goals, identity, and professionalism

I was able to complete research about gender equality in the Tokyo Olympics and my research was used in a press release for the group I was interning for.

I figured this would be a great opportunity for me to build up my resume and gain experience working remotely. I’m very grateful for this opportunity because it allowed me to work with an Argentinian organization that is partnered with many NGOs that help people in vulnerable situations.

It was amazing to finally apply some of the things that I have learned while studying, to a real-life project that will mean something in the future.

The Connect-123 team did not only provide me a remote internship with a fantastic NGO but also imparted invaluable career advice and a great community that does anything to help its members succeed.
