I was tasked to do all sorts of things including substituting, job-seeking, and more! I loved having the opportunity to meet youth and educators passionate about creating better conditions through education.

I learned about International Trade and the mechanics and structure of a membership organization. In addition to this, I was able to improve my professional communication skills by interacting with SME owners (at times) and with my coworkers.

I worked as a Community Intern at a game design studio, where I was tasked with improving community engagement across their social media platforms. This helped me learn a lot about my chosen field and how it functions on a day-to-day level before I even graduate college!

This practicum showed me the true meaning of play as a universal language, and I am confident to use the knowledge I obtained in my future as a child life specialist.

During my time as an intern for a foundation that contributes to democratic consolidation and strengthening by promoting research and public awareness on security, intelligence, and defense reform I gained a lot of insight into a country and culture I was not familiar with.

This experience was life-changing due to everything I learned and accomplished, all the bucket-list items I checked off, and all the extraordinary people I met along the way.

I grew in many ways and developed new skills as an emerging mental health professional during my 3 months there. My experiences with Connect-123 and my internship are ones I will not soon forget!

I spent the summer as a Research and Sustainable Development Goals Facilitation. My work included policy analysis, fieldwork, and organizing and mapping data using programs such as Excel and GIS.

My internship gave me hands-on experience in a field I am interested in and was totally doable with my schoolwork. If you’re looking for an internship and don’t know where to start, definitely consider Connect-123! 

The Child Life Practicum gave me child life skills I’m confident I wouldn’t have been able to learn through just a typical Child Life Practicum. This program gave me a new perspective and so many new skills.
