Description:
International internships in Cape Town, South Africa in business, health care, human rights, education and many other fields. Work, learn, and explore in one of the world's most beautiful cities!
Connect-123 Internship and Volunteer Programs bridges the gap between those wanting an extraordinary international internship experience and the organizations in Cape Town needing talented, diverse individuals to work on short-term projects.
We differentiate ourselves in the following ways:
* Experience:
The Connect-123 Cape Town team is made up of experienced consultants who have the skills to identify concrete needs within organizations seeking interns.
* Expertise:
Prior to your arrival, we design internships projects, in consultation with you and the organizations, to deliver tangible results to the organizations as well as tangible educational and experiential value to you.
* Commitment:
We are a one-stop shop for whatever you need, whenever you need it, before, during, and after your stay in Cape Town. We know Cape Town is far from home. We take care of the details so that you can work hard, play even harder and only worry about learning and having fun.
Highlights:
Cape Town is rated as one of the most beautiful cities in the world and for good reason: few cities are home to white sandy beaches, scenic hiking trails, spectacular ocean views, and a 1,086 meter tall mountain!
Cape Town has something for everyone. Nature lovers can explore national parks, picturesque botanical gardens, historic winelands, and endless stretches of the Atlantic and Indian Ocean coasts. Adventure-seekers can sail, paraglide, surf, bungee jump, shark cage dive, sandboard, cycle, climb, run, paddle, and swim their way around the Western Cape at any time of the year. Wild African game safaris are within a two-hour drive. And the social scene is not to be missed, from affordable, world-class restaurants on the Waterfront to mingling with local students at popular Long Street clubs.
Cape Town is also a city of sharp contrasts, where you can explore issues of social change and diversity and learn about new cultures.
While your internship experience is of vital importance, the Connect-123 team understands that your time in Cape Town is not limited to work alone. We're firm believers in the motto "work hard and play even harder" and we organize numerous social and cultural events for Connect-123 interns throughout the year.
Let us know your interests and we'll do everything we can to ensure that you have the time of your life.
