Amazing opportunity

Connect123 gives the most amazing opportunities that allow you to explore more about your career path. Despite the fact that we are in the midst of a pandemic, they still made sure that I got the best experience. Honestly i wasn't sure if i was pursuing the right career and when i applied for the Connect123 virtual internship, i wanted to do a test run to see if i was heading in the right direction. One of the things I really liked about Connect123 is that they tailor make and customise your internship experience to suit what you are looking for and what you want to get out of it, the experience is unique for everyone. I was placed in an Accounting firm that provided me with valuable knowledge and hands-one experience in the accounting field. I also liked the fact that once they place you in an organization, they always check up on you to make sure everything is going on well and they organize very insightful seminars that help you get through the internship smoothly. They walk with you all the way.Now I can confidently say that I am pursuing the right career. Thanks to Connect123!

I spent my internship in Cape Town, South Africa. It was the most amazing 3 months! I was able to gain experience in my field while experiencing a beautiful new country at the same time. I was able to create many new friendships internationally that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Connect-123 did an amazing job partnering me with a non-profit that fit my career interests perfectly. They not only helped with finding me an internship but also with housing, travel needs, and anything else that I needed while I was abroad. This experience not only taught me a lot about future career goals I also learned a lot about a different culture.
