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.

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.
