When I initially arrived in Barcelona, I felt all sorts of excited, nervous, and scared. Connect-123 built a platform for me to succeed during my time there. I walked away with a life-changing experience and lifelong friends. Connect-123 provided professional development resources while I was abroad and ensured I had everything I needed to succeed during my time. They stayed connected during the whole process, from finding you an internship that fits within your interests to hosting cooking classes and the goodbye picnic at the end. While being immersed in a different culture, doing an internship abroad provides you with a unique skill set you would not otherwise have. I grew professionally and learned a lot at my internship. I worked at a start-up company and learned many skills in business development and digital marketing. I would recommend Connect-123 if you are a go-getter, love adventure, and are ready to have a life-changing experience.
