Description

Next Step Connections (NSC) offers professional internships and other learning abroad educational programs in Asia for college students and young professionals since 2008.

Why Next Step Connections?

A lot of students lack career guidance as to what will be their next step. While some haven't decided what they will do after graduation, others are unprepared to enter a professional workplace or have never worked in their future professional field. As adjustment is needed to deal with the transition into the world of work, our programs aim at preparing our students as early as possible.

Our mission is to bridge the gap between the student and the professional world by helping our participants find their career path as early as possible. We hope to make a positive impact on more than 25,000 students by 2020.
