Global Issues Learning

There are many learning networks established in AIESEC. They are communities of current members who come together with alumni, organizations, and professionals to develop their skills, knowledge and networks around common topics of interest. The interaction happens both virtually through our on-line platform and physically through AIESEC exchanges, conferences, and learning events.

A relatively new and growing initiative for AIESEC, learning networks leverage AIESEC’s ability to develop leadership, run exchange, and connect people together to create a unique platform for individuals to learn about particular issues, sectors and fields.

Learning networks are an opportunity to customize and supplement your AIESEC experience through developing leadership, knowledge, skills, and a network in your area of interest.

•  Customize your AIESEC experience to deepen your knowledge in a particular area or explore new areas
  
•  Connect and discuss with students from around the globe who have common interests and passions
  
•  Engage with companies and organizations who are leading in an area
  
•  Do an international traineeship (also known as internship) that is related to the learning network
  
•  Start to build your personal network to have a career in this area in the future

Each network is unique in terms of the various physical and virtual initiatives used, however these are some common elements:

•  Virtual community home inside our online collaboration platform
  
•  Forum discussions for perspectives and experiences to be shared
  
•  Library of starter resources from various sources
  
•  Agenda time at conferences where topic is most relevant
  
•  Creation and participation in internships related to the area
  

Examples of Learning Networks

Corporate Responsibility Learning Network looks at the role of individuals, companies, NGOs, and governments in corporate responsibility with on-line discussions, internships, and conference workshops.

Finance Learning Network will provide members of AIESEC with a coherent set of learning opportunities to develop a foundation for a career in the financial industry. By providing a large and diverse pool of young talents who are interested in the area, the learning network is designed to fill the "talent gaps" of the industry.
