3. Structure of AIESEC VISAKHAPATNAM

Our Local Committee has five departments - Organizations Sector, Students Sector, Talent & Information Management (HR) and External Relations & Finance. Organizations Sector and Students Sector are the core functional areas, so called “operations”, which bring in all the results. The other two are the Administrative areas that exist to support these two core functions. You can either work for Organizations Sector or Students Sector, but apart from these, you can specialize in one of the Administrative departments if you wish (Talent Management, ER & Finance). After you have been allocated into a department, you have opportunities to grab eventually and build your AIESEC experience the way you want it. Apart from the core fields of AIESEC, there are also Organizing Committees (OCs) in which members take the most active role to organize and conduct an event or a forum. Through the opportunities AIESEC offers, you can differentiate yourself with valuable real-life skills, experience, unforgettable and fascinating moments in life and get a plus point in your CV.
