1. Discover – the world

Exchange

With AIESEC we let young people

experience other cultures by facilitating

exchange of students all over the world,

as we are present in 113 countries. At

one city – in AIESEC terms called Local

Committee, or LC – there are internships

acquired by the Incoming Exchange

team, at another Local Committee

students are to be matched for these

exchanges by the Outgoing Exchange

team. So, every local committee all

around the world has these two teams that make exchange happen.

There are two types of exchanges:

1. A Global Internship Programme (GIP) experience is an opportunity to work at a company

abroad.

2. A Global Community Development Programme (GCDP) experience is an opportunity for

students who want to volunteer and do a project abroad.

An example for the Outgoing Exchange project we have set up for students of the University of

Wageningen is a project in Uganda:

‘Uganda is one of the countries most affected by HIV

cases. The Ugandan Project raises awareness by giving

Ugandan people holistic support about HIV/AIDS and

its consequences, as well as prevention talks to the

population. You can make a difference by going there

and helping those who need the most. Someone can

certainly change the direction in someone’s life by

helping.’

3

An example of the Incoming Exchange is that we have last month welcomed two international

students that will do their 11 month internship at a company in Wageningen. The incoming exchange

team arranged the first contact with the companies, got contracts signed, found the students in our

network, matched them to the companies, handled the formalities and picked them up from the

airport. Now we can go and eat haring with them:

Career orientation

Make a Move is a brand of AIESEC the Netherlands. Next to the exchange and board experience, it is

used to help bridging the gap between the students and their future. Current activities are:

1. Leadership training: For board members of different associations.

2. The Application and Assessment training: for the students who want to practise an

application procedure.

3. The Career week: a major career event with 250 participating students and around 15

renown companies

Every year there are several new activities. So there is a lot of freedom to develop new products that

fit the needs of the students from Wageningen.

Work environment

Within AIESEC you will experience a challenging and professional work environment. This consists

firstly in having meetings with your team and contact with external parties representing AIESEC and

Make a Move. Also, we have an office at which you can do your activities and meet the other AIESEC-

ers. 80% of what you learn is by doing. You have a lot of freedom and get to enjoy responsibilities

that would take years to get in your future career.

Since we are students, we still have to experience a lot. Sometimes things don’t go as planned or

intended, and in this system of constant coaching and feedback you can only learn from your

mistakes. We are convinced that true creativity and growth is only possible when there is room for

error as well.

As a member you will work in teams with people from different backgrounds to achieve a common

goal. You have the chance to learn a lot from different perspectives and different cultures.

International conferences

Every year AIESEC worldwide organizes more than 470 international conferences. Every member of

AIESEC is able to attend these conferences. The special thing about such a conference is that you are

able to interact with hundreds of students from all over the world.

Nearly every conference consists of sessions about personal development, leadership and functional

specific subjects. It is an unique experience to learn more about other cultures and countries

together with students who do the same work for AIESEC but in a completely different country and

reality. Next tot that it is wonderful to meet so many people from all over the world, in the meantime

building a great international network. AIESEC Wageningen, for example, went to Switzerland last

year and will go to Sweden in April.

National conferences

During these two-day, twice a year organized conferences in the castle of de Breckt in Baarlo all the

AIESEC board members gather together, to get to know each other and to share experiences. There

are plenary sessions, where we have policy sessions, where everyone thinks about the short and long

term strategic direction of AIESEC the Netherlands. The rest of the days consist of team-based and

functional sessions, where you go into detail of urgent matters. During the night between the two

days there is a big theme party, because we like to live with the sentence: ‘work hard, play hard’. And

most of all, it is all about fun and getting to know new people!

2. Discover – your passion

AIESEC

AIESEC is a unique organization that was founded in 1948 by seven economic and business students

of Western Europe. With the idea of recovering the relations between European countries after the

Second World War, the founders of AIESEC set up the following goal: no more war! They believed

they would achieve this goal by giving individuals the experience of living and working abroad

themselves. By facilitating cultural experiences for people, they would create mutual understanding.

Students would not only get aware of different cultures, but learn a lot during their internship as

well. Your experience becomes much more intensive if you really work and live abroad

The vision of AIESEC is: “Peace and fulfillment of humankind’s potential”

The means to this vision are formulated as follows:

“Our international platform enables young people to explore and develop their leadership

potential for them to have a positive impact in society.”

Passion

As every organization, AIESEC has his own way to operate. To structure our operations in a certain

way, we think we can help students connected to AIESEC to find their passion. This is what makes

AIESEC unique:

There are opportunities to collaborate with international colleagues, meet up with AIESEC interns doing internships in the Netherlands and have regular contact with AIESEC offices abroad. The possibility to participate in one of the 470 international AIESEC conferences organized during the year is another unique option. Finally, AIESEC offers you opportunities to go abroad.

These include team weekends, dinners, team building activities, conferences, weekly drinks and more. You will get to know and work together with many open people. At AIESEC we aim to celebrate results, achievements and success. Therefore, an AIESEC board year can be characterized by a ‘work hard, play hard’ mentality: we aim at providing our services as professional as possible but we strongly acknowledge the value of pleasure and fun during and after work.

3. Discover – your potential

Responsibility

As an organisation we believe that most growth comes through a process of learning by doing. As a

board member you will have opportunities to learn in this environment and not only perform your

tasks, but enjoy the responsibilities that come with it. We see success as well as room for error as

important factors in achieving results.

AIESEC and Make a Move have a team based structure and within every team a fulltime coordinator.

All team members work by responsibilities instead of tasks, so there is room for every individual to

schedule their (team) work at their best time, as long as the responsibilities are met. Within your

team, you will elaborate on a suitable time to have your weekly team meeting (this year, all the

teams had their meeting Thursday evening). With the whole Local Committee you will meet every

other Thursday evening at Café Daniels. This year the meeting started from 20h00 and took about

two hours.

Since every member has much responsibility, there are also some expectations. We expect from

members mainly to:

- Be pro-active

- Be motivated to work for AIESEC

- Be committed and open for learning

- Be team players

- Be ambitious

- Have good social skills

- Join for the minimum of one year

To have an appropriate learning curve in your responsibility with first the transmission from your

predecessor and then your performance and learning and afterwards the transmission of knowledge

to your successor, we expect people to join AIESEC for the minimum time of one year. This also

9

contains the whole process of growing as a team. If there are contrary circumstances, and you can

explain why you should join for a shorter period of time, we are happy to listen to that in the

application procedure.

4. Discover – a way to stand out

Benefits for your future

Why would an organisation choose for you instead of one of your fellow students who has the same

age, goes to every lecture together with you, has followed the same minor and has the same marks

as you?

These are criteria by which most top companies select

recently graduated students:

My courses’ mark is on average > 7

I have commission/board-experience (5-20

hours a week)

I have commission/board-experience (>20

hours a week)

I have done a study-related traineeship

(>3mth)

I have had a study-related job

I have experience abroad

I have experience in a professional sports

environment

I have my own company

I have participated in an Honours programme

I expect to finish more than one master at university

All the demands of the companies imply pro-activity. You can divide the demands in two categories,

(1) can be accomplished individually and (2) have to be performed within an organisation. This is on

November 27th and 28th of 2012 acknowledged:

AIESEC has been acknowledged Enabling Youth Mobility by Adecco and the European Alliance
