I couldn’t have asked for a better internship experience. They also did a great job planning weekend trips around Ireland, giving me the opportunity to explore different parts of the country and make unforgettable memories along the way. Overall, Connect-123 made my time in Ireland an amazing experience both professionally and personally.

Whiskey Time⁓⁓⁓

I had such a wonderful experience working at a Whiskey Distillery in Dublin. The staff were all so genuinely nice and made me feel right at home. Rotating through the cafe, reception, and the back bar allowed me to understand all the different phases of a working distillery, and meeting the bosses was a great addition to the program.

Because Dublin attracts so much tourism, I really enjoyed meeting so many different people from all over the world at my work. It felt like a true mix of diversity, which allowed me to learn so many unique things from everyone I encountered. I was also incredibly glad to use my Mandarin skills to help out. On my days off, I had the best time exploring Dublin, traveling around Ireland, and adventuring into other European countries. It was a beautiful journey both professionally and personally!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
Plan ahead and identify companies for applications, especially when applying for scholarships. If moving to a higher-cost country and doing an unpaid internship, secure a scholarship beforehand to ease living costs. Learn to bike; it helps navigate Dublin, allows living farther with cheaper rent, and avoids unreliable Dublin buses and traffic delays.
Pros
  • Becoming Independence
  • Meeting new people and culture
  • Exploring a new city

My Dublin Experience

As my time in Ireland comes to a close, I want to thank Connect-123 for partnering with Bucknell University to provide students like me with an opportunity like this. As an undergraduate, it can often feel stressful trying to gain relevant work experience while preparing for your future career. Thanks to Connect-123, I was placed with a company in a field aligned with my career goals, allowing me to grow professionally while exploring a new part of the world. This experience has given me valuable workplace experience, unforgettable memories, and a greater appreciation for living and working abroad. Thank you for making it possible!

Perfect Experience

I'm more than happy with my internship experience in Dublin, and I'm incredibly grateful for Connect-123 for finding the perfect placement for me. Working at an addiction recovery center gave me valuable insight into the field and allowed me to learn so much about the challenges and rewards of this important work. I also feel that I grew significantly as a person through this experience. I truly appreciate the support that Connect-123 offered during the preparation phase and throughout the entire internship. Thank you Connect-123!

So fun!

I had a great time last summer! I got to shadow doctors and learn about cancer care and data. I also met amazing people who roomed with me and who I am visiting during my breaks! I would definitely recommend this to any students looking to get some experience in while not studying abroad for a full semester. I am truly missing it so much and will never forget the experiences and people I met while over there. Everyone in the administration was very helpful and readily available to answer any questions.

Amazing experience!

Connect 123 really helped me to have the best experience possible for my international internship. I had a minor health issue while abroad a couple times and connect was so amazing about making sure I was comfortable in my place of living as well as being amazing with the actual hospital selection and just being present if I needed them. The entire team at connect was awesome and willing to help with absolutely anything I might've needed. I made amazing friends who I still talk to and were always planning trips to see each other more! I had a truly amazing experience and that Is all because of this company.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Just go for it! There are so many opportunities and experiences that might not “be your thing” but getting out of your comfort zone and putting yourself out there helps you have the best time!

A piece of my heart will always be in Dublin!

I would highly suggest interning abroad. It was an amazing experience filled with so much knowledge. I learned more than I could've imagined during this time. At first, it may seem challenging but trust in yourself and the people around you. It will be okay! Connect-123 did an amazing job providing us all with everything we needed. They also did a great job at planning and coordinating activities. I appreciate all their help throughout this program. If you are thinking of going abroad I suggest you do it!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The most nerve-racking moment was leaving and I was filled with so many unknowns. I had never been out of the country before. I had no idea what to expect from the people I'd meet, or what my internship would be like. I felt like although I was nervous about a lot, instead of framing all my unknowns into fear, I framed them into things to be excited about!
Pros
  • Exploring a new country!
  • Ease of Transportation!
  • Safety and care!
What other participants should know
  • Honestly couldn't really think of many cons.
