Learning Connected is an organisation that unlocks promising career paths for students through virtual internship projects centred around social impact and collaboration with purpose-driven companies globally.  

Learning Connected specialises in virtual internships that connect students with purpose-driven organisations around the globe. These internships are designed to enhance career prospects and make a positive impact on sustainable development. 

Participating in a virtual micro-internship offers valuable insights into various career paths and helps develop critical skills necessary for a successful transition from academic life to the professional world. Additionally, these internships emphasise social impact, allowing you to collaborate with purpose-driven organisations that are committed to making a positive difference. This unique opportunity not only enhances your employability but also aligns your professional growth with meaningful contributions to society. 

Physical internships require presence at a specific location and provide direct workplace interaction, whereas virtual internships are conducted remotely, offering flexibility and reducing carbon emissions by eliminating commute and travel needs. Both types aim to enhance professional skills through different delivery methods.
