Past Interns Testimonials
"Honestly, if I hadn't found Next Step Connections, I probably wouldn't have had the fantastic opportunity to work for a high-profile magazine, such as the Shanghai Business Review. My internship with SBR was without a doubt the best journalism-related experience I have had and I am so thankful I had the priviledge to work there. Through SBR, I was able to attend executive events, proofread articles, add clips to my portfolio, and research and caption photos. It truly was the most worthwhile experience I and NSC made it happen! "
