Why Join AIESEC?

AIESEC offers you an opportunity to put theory into practice and gain practical international experience. This will give you a competitive advantage for any job you will apply for in the future or career you want to pursue.

As a member, you will obtain experience with sales and account management towards local and multinational companies, run an exchange project focused on a hot topic, engage in event planning or training in your areas of expertise. The opportunities are plentiful.

As the work excites you and you want more, you may take up the challenge of leading a team and influencing the strategic direction of your local office, take charge of negotiations with key stakeholders or run an international 5-days conference with 200 delegates just to mention a few options.

Think of the value of the practical experience of for example:
• Being in charge and leading of a team of 5-20 people
• Spending your summer going on a short-term traineeship to India
• Making the annual branding and sales strategies for your local office
• Being in charge of member development interviews, and training of members
• Negotiating partnerships with companies on your 2nd year of university

Your AIESEC experience is up to you. It is a question of exploring the opportunities of the global network and building a foundation for a career in your area of interest. So if you would you like to diversify your CV and widen your skills by working in a collaborative environment with ambitious students, join AIESEC.
