I can honestly say that Connect-123 and my summer internship changed my life. I know that’s a lofty statement, but it’s true! Connect found me an internship at an entrepreneurship centre for local entrepreneurs, and I had the privilege of assisting people who wanted to work hard, improve their lives, and then help the people around them. I couldn’t have asked for a better internship. I was not only able to hone my marketing skills, but I realized that I now have a passion for social entrepreneurship. Also, the quality of other interns that Connect-123 brings in is phenomenal. I have made friends that I know I will remain close to for my entire life. We’re already planning a Christmas reunion. Finally, a note about the Connect-123 staff. I had a lot of difficulty getting one of my suitcases not only into the country, but also when I was leaving. They went out of their way to make sure my suitcase made it to my apartment (including retrieving it for me!) to making sure I was able to scan and send all the necessary documents. I don’t know what I would have done without them.
