This was an incredible opportunity that would have been next to impossible to find back home. I left the program with a great experience, made wonderful friends, learned lots of practical research and field skills, and made many new professional connections that will help me in my professional future. Thank you Connect-123!

I can honestly say it has been worth every penny and the many, many long shifts I worked at my part-time job! Everything I asked for was always catered for and I never had any worries. Nothing was too much bother. The experience turned out to be so much more than I ever imagined.

I cannot recommend Connect-123 and the lovely team highly enough. From start to finish, my time there was made as comfortable and fun, and the team genuinely care for the welfare of those they are looking after. If you are wondering whether or not to go for it, my advice would be ABSOLUTELY DO. You won’t regret it. I am now applying for my Masters degree in Dublin, possibly to do Addiction Studies, none of which I would be doing if it weren’t for Connect-123.

I completed my summer internship in Dublin at an animal shelter. I chose to do this internship through Connect-123 because I wanted to have a relaxing summer before I started medical school. This particular internship placement had loads of options ranging from cuddling cats to sitting in on surgeries and observing.

Connect-123 helped me find a fantastic internship teaching English at a summer camp in Shanghai. Not only was my internship incredibly fun, but it also helped me learn more about what I do and don’t want to do in the future. Living in Shanghai for two months was fun and helped me improve my Chinese.

I worked in an immunology lab, where I learned how to operate centrifuge, Phadia 250 and QuantaLyser. The colleagues and chief scientist were welcoming and patient. Thanks to my pharmacology internship, I gained knowledge of many crucial laboratory skills such as preparing coverslips and writing audits.

I spent two months working in an immigration law firm. I became comfortable with everyone I worked with and they were there if I needed help or had any questions about work, the city or anything! My internship was an experience of a lifetime. I loved my stay in Barcelona and am forever grateful for this experience!

I study recording arts and music production at Drexel University. Via the Connect-123 program, I got an internship in Dublin at one of the premier recording studios Ireland. Right off the bat, I was impressed with my placement. My internship in Dublin was one of the most valuable times in my life. 

My summer internship in Shanghai provided me with an endless stream of opportunity and experiences that allowed me to grow in my professional and personal goals. Working at a startup, I was given a lot of responsibility that challenged me to learn new skills and problem solve independently.

As for my environmental sustainability internship, it was amazing to work with an environmental NGO. It was great to help throughout the city both in getting buildings to utilize more sustainable practices, and spreading environmental education awareness! All in all, I would definitely recommend coming here!
