Connect-123 will find international opportunities for students across all fields based on their skills, interests, and goals. This is a six-month co-op experience via Connect-123 
who will assist 
you in finding a Virtual co-op experience for Fall/Winter for an employer located in Dublin. <br>Co-op students will not travel

Steinbright will pay Connect-123 a fee  Dublin. Steinbright will also award participating students a stipend to cover this amount. Since 2006, Connect-123 has 
developed hundreds of international partnerships with a wide range of organizations, selecting based on 1) feedback from Connect-123 alumni, 2) the organization having project needs that fit students’ interests, and 3) their team’s buy-in to the concept, so that they’re engaged and excited to participate. Connect-123 advises students during the application process and provides ongoing support and advice throughout the co-op experience.  To ensure projects are on track, Connect-123 checks in with students regularly, schedules individual feedback meetings, and reviews written feedback from students and supervisors. They also coordinate peer discussions via Zoom, where in small groups, students discuss their internship successes and challenges, and learning from each other, develop a list of best practices. In addition, they offer professional career coaching sessions and via their award-winning alumni network programs, introduce current interns to Connect-123 alumni working in their field to help answer questions, to discuss job search strategies, and to increase their professional networks.
