In what other global organization can you go from entry level to top management in 3-5 years?

We are entirely run by university students & recent graduates. The heart & energy of our organization are the volunteers that make up about 98% of the membership. The remaining 2% (about 250 people) are very recent graduates or students working full-time in the national & international offices.

The fact that we can manage a global organization with 35,000 members,  over 1000 offices and  4000 partners with a bunch of university students is impressive. The fact that the entire management turns over every year is even more impressive.

This is what makes AIESEC so unique and what gives you so many opportunities to take on leadership. We are in need of new people to step up & take on leadership roles.
