About Connect-123 Internship & Volunteer Programs
Connect-123 facilitates internship, volunteer and study abroad opportunities for overseas students and graduates in Cape Town, Buenos Aires and Shanghai, in a wide range of fields including business, education, health care, journalism, social work, and sustainable development. All programs are designed to create equal value for the Connect-123 interns/volunteers, and for the local organizations with whom they are placed.
To date, we've worked with students from over 280 universities and have more than 300 international students participating on our programs each year.
Each of our Program Managers would:
identify quality organizations and companies that can potentially host interns/volunteers
build and maintain relationships with host organizations
continuously deepen knowledge of the sector you would be responsible for by attending industry events, reading relevant publications and building their network of contacts
establish and maintain relationships with universities (mainly in North America) – to raise awareness of our program within that community and to develop specific programs for individual universities
facilitate the richest possible learning experience for program participants
guide individuals through the application process and match each one to a suitable opportunity
assist program participants with preparations for their trip to Shanghai i.e. visas
assist with the negotiation of housing rental contracts for participants
engage in coaching/mentoring sessions to help participants overcome difficulties and provide them with career advice
organize and manage social events & excursions for Connect-123’s participants
