My time in Dublin was incredible! The people were warm and welcoming, always open to conversation. I loved my internship experience as well—the coworkers were amazing, and the overall environment was fantastic. Exploring Dublin and its surrounding cities was such a highlight, from sightseeing with friends to discovering new spots every weekend. Thank you Connect-123!

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!

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?

Baked beans for breakfast - I unexpectedly really liked it.

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.

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!

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!

Cons

Honestly couldn't really think of many cons.

My experience in Dublin as an intern was both challenging and rewarding. It provided me with invaluable insights into the field of social inclusion and allowed me to develop a global mindset. The cultural exchange, the support provided, and the lessons learned will stay with me forever. If you are considering an internship abroad, I would recommend considering opportunities in Dublin, Ireland. It has many cool places to explore and is an ideal place to start an internship abroad for the first time.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?

Working at my internship because I didn't know what to do or how to do anything but I always asked questions and the staff was helpful and nice to me.

Pros

Housing
Transportation
Friendship

Cons

Some internship works
Not getting enough significant tasks at work

Choosing to intern abroad in Dublin, Ireland was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

I will cherish all the memories and experiences I have gained from this opportunity for the rest of my life.

Pros

Fulfilling internship
So many new experiences

Cons

My time in Dublin, Ireland, living on the UCD Campus while interning at an NGO has been an incredible experience. The internship in policy writing allowed me to deeply engage with my passion for sociology and mental health advocacy. Exploring Ireland and neighboring countries enriched my understanding of diverse cultures and provided unforgettable memories. Connecting with new friends and coworkers has been invaluable, fostering a sense of community and belonging. This experience has taught me so much about myself and the workplace, while expanding my knowledge in psychology, sociology, and business organization. I am immensely grateful for this opportunity.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?

Explore as much of Ireland as you can! You have limitless opportunity through the amazing public transit systems offered throughout the Republic of Ireland, and you can easily access Northern Ireland as well.

You also can cheaply explore another country or two by using hostels and RyanAir, but make sure to keep your internship, friends, family, and Connect123 informed about your plans.

Pros

Friendly Culture
Relaxed Workspace Environment
Interesting Excursions

Cons

Pricy Food
Semi-Irregular Public Transit
Less Social Events

Questions & Answers

Will I have to take care of housing and meals myself? And is there any extra fee included?

Since dates are flexible and our program fee is the same for any duration, housing and meal costs are not included. In each destination, we can recommend screened, safe accommodation, in homestays or staying with other participants, according to your budget and preferences.

Do the internships pay?

While high in career-related value, all internships are unpaid and organizations we work with understand that they need to provide “real” work experience that will benefit the intern.

Alumni Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with verified alumni.

Alumni Spotlight: Ivan

Why did you choose this program?

I chose this program because it was available in my school, the University of California, Santa Cruz, for psychology and cognitive science majors. I was eager to both study abroad and visit a new place, while gaining meaningful, hands-on experience in the field of psychology. As soon as I learned about the opportunity, I applied right away and felt excited to get started. Having never been to Ireland before, I was also drawn to experience a new culture and explore Dublin while continuing my academic and professional development over the summer. Additionally, I heard great things about the program.

What did your program provider (or university) assist you with, and what did you have to organize on your own?

The program and my university were very supportive throughout the process. They assisted in helping me contact internship opportunities, refining my resume, and navigating logistical details before and during the program. In addition, the program organized regular meetings focused on professional development, where we learned more about workplace environments, expectations, and career growth. The staff were also consistently available and in contact whenever support or guidance was needed, checking in with everyone throughout the experience. On my own, I worked at the internship, explored Dublin, Ireland, and completed necessary course work.

What is one piece of advice you'd give to someone going on your program?

One piece of advice I would give to someone going on this program is to fully embrace the experience of being abroad. Take advantage of every opportunity offered, attend events, shows, or activities in the city where you are staying. Be open to trying new foods, talking with locals, and exploring the city as much as possible. Overall, immerse yourself in the culture and make the most of being in a new environment, as those experiences are just as valuable as the academic and professional ones. An additional piece of advice is to fully take advantage of your internship, ask questions, hang out with coworkers, get involved, attend events, etc.

What does an average day/week look like as a participant of this program?

An average day for me typically involved going to my internship in the mornings and staying until the afternoon, where I gained hands-on experience in an awesome workplace. I truly loved my internship and my coworkers, which made going to work each day very enjoyable and rewarding. n the evenings, I spent time with friends from the program, exploring Dublin, trying new restaurants, and attending local events. My weeks felt well-balanced between work, academics, and social activities. On weekends, I often traveled beyond the southern part of Dublin, where I was staying, to explore other parts of Ireland and see as many new places as possible.

Going into your experience abroad, what was your biggest fear, and how did you overcome it? How did your views on the issue change?

Going into the program, my biggest fear was not making many new friends and feeling like I would only be working and then returning home without fully experiencing life abroad. However, that fear quickly changed once the program began. I was very fortunate to meet people I genuinely enjoyed spending time with, exploring the city, and traveling with. To overcome this fear, I pushed myself out of my comfort zone by talking to everyone in the program and making an effort to connect with locals as well. Through these experiences, I realized that being open, proactive, and willing to step outside of what feels comfortable can lead to meaningful connections and make the experience far more fulfilling than I initially thought. In addition, since I fractured my ankle about a week and a half before the program started, I was worried that my injury would limit what I could do or prevent me from fully participating in the experience. I soon realized that I was able to do everything I needed to do, including commuting to and from work, spending time with friends, and exploring Dublin. What helped a lot was the accommodating friends, coworkers, supervisors, and people in Dublin, which really helped my experience be its fullest.

What’s the best way to balance your internship responsibilities with exploring a new city?

I found that creating a routine really helped. Mornings and afternoons were dedicated to the internship, which gave structure to my days. Evenings and weekends were free for exploring, trying new foods, and traveling. Planning ahead and being intentional with your time allows you to fully benefit from both the professional and cultural aspects of the program and being in a different place as well.
