My child life practicum was absolutely amazing! It has given me the opportunity to take the next step towards my goal of becoming a Child Life Specialist and it was amazing to have done it in such a unique, diverse country.

My six months as an intern with Connect-123 was an incredible learning experience. I met so many wonderful people at my internship, in Buenos Aires and around Argentina. I have returned to the US with skills I can carry with me for the rest of my life, as well as long-lasting friendships and amazing memories.

Consider this program even if you don’t know any Chinese. In Shanghai, I got by from only knowing English because many people were bilingual and some public spaces had English translated signs. But still try to learn some basic Mandarin, as even a little bit can go a long way.

My time in Buenos Aires was amazing. I interned for a municipal government, and got the opportunity to write draft bills to present to local council.

My two-month internship in Buenos Aires exceeded all of my expectations. This program is a great way to be immersed in another language and culture and I am so grateful for this opportunity!

If you are looking for an outstanding practicum that can help you grow not only professionally but on a personal level as well, THIS IS PERFECT FOR YOU!

During my practicum, I had the opportunity to work in several children’s hospitals around the Cape Town area. Each hospital was unique within itself which further helped me practice my various child life skills. Under the supervision of a Certified Child Life Specialist, I was given autonomy to build upon my strengths and weaknesses.

Connect-123’s support and structure allowed me to focus on what I was doing rather than worrying about the changes from being in a completely new place.  Thanks C123!

Connect-123 provided me with an amazing experience. Thanks to my internship at an NGO, I was able to learn so much about South Africa’s education system.

My internship helped me to grow my knowledge of the inner workings of small non-profits. Connect-123 did an amazing job connecting and facilitating my internship. They are so accommodating and professional. I highly suggest Connect-123 to anyone looking for a global experience!
