During the eight weeks I spent in China doing my medical internship in Shanghai, I formed amazing relationships with the doctors, staff, and other hospital interns, as well as with my Connect-123 peers. Every day was like waking up to a new adventure! I’ve learned so much about myself.

Connect-123 planned incredible excursions during my stay in Cape Town. I especially enjoyed the educational outings to Parliament and Robben Island, and one of my favorite weekends was the Community Chef Mandela Day event when we cooked a stew for people in need.

My experience in South Africa was incredible. I was able to fully immerse myself in the country by exploring the different landscapes, meeting the people, and learning the culture. From hiking Table Mountain, walking on the beaches of Camps Bay, or going on safari in the Garden Route, South Africa’s natural environments are truly stunning.

Connect-123 facilitated my sustainable development internship in Buenos Aires, Argentina over the summer. It was hands down one the best things I’ve ever done!

Adjusting to the different work environment at my business internship in Cape Town was certainly one of the more noteworthy aspects of my time in South Africa. The Connect-123 team was consistently available to listen to our experiences and concerns, helping significantly from start to finish.

Connect-123 gave me the opportunity to spend two months doing an internship in China at a wastewater treatment company. As part of my internship, I got to travel across China to different towns and cities seeing all kinds of new traditions, foods, and music.

I have learned so much about international business, Chinese culture, technology and have discovered that opportunities are everywhere! I have loved living in Shanghai as it is completely different to my home which is completely in the country on the edge of New Zealand!

I couldn’t have been more thrilled with my software engineering internship and I know my work will be useful to the company long after I’m gone. I learned many valuable programming skills along the way and further developed my professional communication and networking skills.

Connect-123 really listened to what I wanted in an internship. I submitted my application early and was thrilled with the public relations internship in Dublin I got. I was beyond impressed with everything Connect-123 offers for the amazing program price. My internship in Dublin was above and beyond my expectations.

My communications internship in Dublin perfectly combined the array of interests that I wanted to cover. I learned more about myself, different cultures, and my future career goals in these two months than any other summer in my life.
