My six month internship in Buenos Aires surpassed all my expectations. I would definitely recommend Buenos Aires and Connect-123 to anyone who asks!

My internship in Cape Town at a nonprofit institute dedicated to environmental conservation & education taught me about sustainable development.

Having a resilient and qualified support network is essential for a successful abroad experience, and the staff at Connect-123 are willing to go out of their way for you to reach your goals and happiness.

Connect-123 not only ‘connected’ me to an incredible professional opportunity, but also to amazing people in Cape Town. I worked at a media-based NGO that uses documentary-style filmmaking to catalyze change on a global level. I was able to learn film editing, work on digital marketing projects, build a proposal to incubate small businesses in townships around Cape Town, and form strong relationships with everyone at my workplace.

During my Child Life Practicum, I observed an experienced Certified Child Life Specialist within a prominent Children’s Hospital. I was able to grow as a Child Life student while independently performing procedural preparation, and implementing developmentally appropriate activities for children of all ages.

Connect-123 helped me get the perfect internship I was looking for. The whole process from application to acceptance was meticulously handled and tailor-made. 

My experience with Connect-123 and the internship I had in Dublin was nothing but phenomenal. As for my architecture internship, my experience far exceeded anything I could have hoped for. I have nothing but good things to say about Connect-123 and how they work with their interns, and the experiences I had while in Ireland.

The three months I spent in Barcelona were some of the best and most rewarding months of my life! Since day one it was an unforgettable experience. I was able to meet incredible and diverse individuals who later became some of the best friends I’ve ever made; we shared many amazing memories together that I will treasure forever.

I leave this experience knowing that we all have an important role to play in society when it comes to influencing the laws and policies that shape our communities. I cannot wait to take what I have learned back home to Canada with me and continue this amazing work!

My Child Life Practicum in Cape Town, South Africa was beyond anything I could have ever imagined. It deepened my passion and drive to become a Child Life Specialist. My Practicum allowed me to work with children and families in ways I would have never dreamed of being able to! I learned how to adapt to a different healthcare system, and witnessed coursework come to life during daily engagements.
