AIESEC in numbersAIESEC, the world’s largest student-run organization, has over 60 years of experience in developing high-potential students into globally-minded responsible leaders in partnership with business and higher education.

Right now we have our entities in Ljubljana, Kranj and Maribor where together around 200 members are working.

Few words of history

AIESEC as an organization was established after Second World War with vision of making peace through building common understanding between nations. The founding members of AIESEC started to build the organization between 1946 and 1948, but a clear identity emerged in 1948 and later in 1949 at the Stockholm Congress. 89 students participated in the Exchange Program in 1949 and Exchange was defined as the core activity of the organization. In the coming years more and more countries joined the network and in a very short period AIESEC became global by being present on all continents.

Our vision

Peace and fulfilment of humankind's potential.

AIESEC provides its members with an integrated development  experience comprised of leadership
opportunities
, international internships and participation in a global learning environment

Leadership

Each year around 10.000 young people are taking leadership opportunity in AIESEC. They are leading teams working on concrete projects. Thanks to that our members can in practise develop their competencies. By working in teams, AIESECers have also opportunity to observe how their leader is managing people and can also take leadership opportunities later . Before starting leadership experience, our members are receiving knowledge about how to manage and motivate people, how to plan their work and execute it during sessions and workshops . Because AIESEC is an organization run only by students, all members have also the opportunity to manage entities of the organization on local, national or international level.

International internships

From the beginning of existance AIESEC is building intercultural understanding between nations through organization of international internships. In each country where AIESEC is present our members are looking for students interested in international exchange experience and also companies and organizations looking for high talented students from abroad for work. Our Interns are working from 6 to 72 weeks in international corporations, non-govermental organizations, schools and govermental institutions.
