My coordinators kept me well-informed about what they needed from me, when a new offer came in, how to use the bus system, where to get groceries, etc. There was barely a moment of confusion during my internship experience.

Barcelona Internship Review: Not only did they help me find an internship, they offered security and a safe environment in which it was easy to find friends in familiar situations as myself. I might have been doing the traveling on my own, but reaching the destination I was far from that.

Cape Town Internship Review: Connect-123 provided phenomenal support leading up to my arrival. Doing a social work internship in an orphanage and townships, it certainly gave me eye-opening insight to the social situations in South Africa.

Buenos Aires Internship Review: I’ve always had a strong desire to have a professional experience abroad. Traveling is one of my passions, and I wanted to add to my career. I discovered Connect-123 and I have found it the best choice for me.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience during my four months in Cape Town. I gained professional experience through my internship at the Groote Schuur Hospital as well as increased cultural awareness through my everyday social encounters. I gained a well-rounded experience through Connect-123 achieving job exposure as well as enjoyment.

Through Connect-123, I had the opportunity to work at a digital startup in Barcelona for 9 weeks–an experience in which I grew, learned and pushed myself beyond my comfort zone. Connect-123 helped me land an internship, find housing, and meet other interns living in Barcelona. This would not have been possible without the support and guidance from the Connect-123 team. I can’t recommend this experience enough.

I spent four incredible months in Buenos Aires as an intern with Connect-123. During this time I had the opportunity to study Spanish, intern at a public hospital in Buenos Aires, and of course, travel to different regions of Argentina. This experience has been eye-opening and enlightening, to say the least! I will be forever grateful to have had this experience, and for Connect-123 for being so professional and assisting with everything I needed to ensure that I had the best experience possible.

Finding Connect-123 was truly a blessing. I always dreamed of going to Spain and shortly after discovering this program I was standing in the streets of Barcelona. The whole application process was super easy and the program is very accommodating. Overall I had a blast doing my internship.

My 2 months in Buenos Aires were some of the most rewarding, challenging but most fun I have ever had. Connect-123 gave me amazing support in Buenos Aires, which made all the difference being in a new and different environment. I would recommend this internship to anyone who wants to become immersed in a different country and dip their toes into a completely new industry or further their existing knowledge by gaining experiences in a new environment.

My job was such a great fit. I also recently found out that I have been accepted to three graduate degree programs I applied to, and each university was sure to let me know that they were highly impressed with my international internship, and it is a big part of why they accepted me!
