Review

Having graduated from college during the pandemic I was not sure how to go about the next steps of
my career. I came across Connect-123 while searching for internships online. The application process
is very straight forward, you simply fill out your desired field of study and your desired location. I
then had a phone call with Carla who filled me in on the internship process and how it works. She
asked me about my preferences and objectives for the internship and within only a few weeks she
was able to match me with an organisation.
Although my internship was remote, I was in frequent communication with the organisation, so I
never felt disconnected. Connect-123 also provided tips on how to stay connected and get the most
out of the internship. Carla also checked in on me during the internship and reassured me that
should I require any assiatance she would be there to help.
The internship itself was very rewarding I got to experience working in my chosen field of interest. I
was assigned tasks and got to conduct research for the company. I practised soft skills of long distance communication, time management and meeting deadlines. I learned technical skills such as
using google docs, creating designs and writing copy for the company. The people I worked with
were so welcoming and provided feedback along the way and were appreciative of my contributions.
Overall Connect-123 is a wonderful resource in not only in securing an internship but also providing
support along the way. Taking the next steps in your professional journey can be daunting but simply
knowing Connect-123 is there to support you makes it much easier.
I would highly recommend anyone considering an internship to apply through Connect-123.
